title: [Diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia/infarction in the era of multislice CT].
abstract: Acute mesenteric ischemia/infarction is a complex and often misdiagnosed syndrome. The availability of new imaging methods, namely multislice computed tomography, has enabled early recognition of signs and symptoms of acute mesenteric ischemia, resulting in timely therapeutic intervention.
