Small bowel infarcts in Degos disease.
Degos disease is a rare idiopathic vasculopathy with multisystem involvement. We present a previously healthy 40-year-old woman who developed spontaneous small bowel infarctions and perforations 17 months after presentation with characteristic skin lesions. The abdominal CT findings of Degos disease, which have not been previously depicted in the radiology literature, are discussed.
