Clinical approach to colonic ischemia.
Typical clinical manifestations of colonic ischemia include rapid onset of mild abdominal pain and tenderness over the affected bowel, followed by a mild amount of hematochezia within a day of the onset of pain. Most patients have transient, nongangrenous ischemia, but some have severe ischemia.
