[Acute mesenteric ischaemia in a patient with Crohn's disease].
A 48-year-old patient known to have Crohn's disease (diagnosis verified by clinical findings, histology and colonoscopy) was admitted to the hospital with acute abdominal pain. Additional examination did not suggest another pathology. Acute mesenteric ischaemia was suspected late and diagnosed only during laparotomy. CT scan and MR were normal, but abdominal angiography confirmed total occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery. In this case the outcome was death.
