CUEVAS, Julio César. Acute mesenteric ischemia in a young patient. Cir. parag. [online]. 2024, vol.48, n.2, pp.33-34. ISSN 2307-0420.  https://doi.org/10.18004/sopaci.2024.agosto.33.

Acute mesenteric ischemia is a consequence of the sudden interruption of the blood supply to the intestine, if left untreated, it leads to complications and irreversible damage such as necrosis of the intestinal wall and death. The various causes and non-specific clinical symptoms make diagnosis difficult, resulting in late diagnosis and late therapeutic intervention. It constitutes a great clinical challenge since the guidelines for the therapeutic management of these patients are not defined. The clinical case of a young patient with abdominal pain secondary to mesenteric ischemia is presented.
