title: [Acute mesenteric occlusion (analysis of 4 cases)].
abstract: Sudden, complete occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery is due often to an embolus than thrombosis. The clinical features are usually the same whether occlusion is the result of embolism or thrombosis. Males are affected more often. Complete thrombotic or embolic occlusion of the mesenteric artery presents mostly as a surgical emergency with all the manifestations of paralysis of the peristaltic mechanism as well as loss of viability of the affected intestine. There are problems in the diagnosis in, the group of higher age patients. The clinical diagnosis is by patients with minimal symptomatology and often with next diseases very complicated and unfortunately to late. The authors described four examples of this problematic.
