ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Mesenteric ischemia is a life-threatening condition with a complex etiology and diagnostics.OBJECTIVE:
Etiology, incidence, symptoms, and diagnostics of acute and chronic mesenteric ischemia. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
Literature search via PubMed with a focus on studies on the epidemiology and diagnostics of mesenteric ischemia and analysis of existing international guidelines.RESULTS:
The incidence of acute mesenteric ischemia is given as 0.63-12.9 per 100,000 people per year. There are no sufficiently reliable figures for chronic mesenteric ischemia, but an incidence of up to 3 per 100,000 inhabitants per year is generally assumed. The three-phase computed tomography has the highest diagnostic specificity and sensitivity.CONCLUSION:
In the presence of risk factors acute and chronic mesenteric ischemia should be considered as differential diagnoses in the presence of abdominal pain using three-phase computed tomography.Palabras clave
