title: [Necrotizing gastroenteritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease].
abstract: Gangrene of the stomach is a rare and catastrophic event, usually attributed to local pathologic conditions. Although there are no cases documented in the literature, non-occlusive arterial ischemia is sometimes listed among the causes of necrotizing gastritis. We report a case of necrotizing gastroenteritis associated with a low flow state secondary to an episode of fulminant colitis, fecal peritonitis and septic shock. The patient recovered after staged resection of the involved segments of the gastrointestinal tract.
