ABSTRACT

Mesenteric thrombosis represents a vascular urgency caused by the abrupt interruption of blood flow, whether arterial or venous; clinical presentation can be nonspecific, which can represent a diagnostic challenge. According to its vascular etiology, a different therapeutic approach is required. If there is clinical suspicion or signs of peritonitis, the imaging diagnosis can support to identify the presented pathology. On this occasion, there is a clinical case of an 84-year-old patient who goes to the emergency department for generalized abdominal pain, which led to a diagnostic imaging study, to confirm this finding.
