[Intestinal ischemia caused by mesenteric veno-occlusive inflammatory disease: description of a clinical case].
The Authors report a case of small bowel venous ischaemia due to a peculiar form of vasculitis called Mesenteric Inflammatory Veno-Occlusive Disease. Such disease represents a new anatomopathological entity, with exclusive thrombotic and inflammatory infiltration of the mesenteric veins, with no arterial flogistic involvement. Clinical manifestation of the diseases is that of the venous mesenteric thrombosis in patients in whom the more common forms of systemic vasculitis are not recognizable.
