title: Mesenteric inflammatory veno-occlusive disorder: a rare entity mimicking inflammatory bowel disorder.
abstract: Mesenteric inflammatory veno-occlusive disorder (MIVOD) is a rare variety of inflammatory bowel disease. In addition to the case presentation, pathogenesis, and conflicting clinical, endoscopic, and computed tomography findings, we present for the first time the angiographic findings that would provide important clues to distinguish MIVOD from the chronic idiopathic variety of inflammatory bowel disease and confirm the diagnosis of MIVOD. Final diagnosis is made on full-thickness biopsy. Although medical treatment of MIVOD is unsuccessful, surgical resection of the involved segment results in resolution of symptoms.
