Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 73947
  • Image ID: 51989543
  • Image stack position: 57/121
  • Plane projection: Axial
  • Aux modality: C+ portal venous phase
  • Modality: CT
  • System: Gastrointestinal
  • Findings: Triphasic CT abdomen shows a filling defect in the mid portion of superior mesenteric artery (beginning ~5.3 cm distal to origin) and it's jejunal/ileal branches causing complete occlusion. Intramural air in the jejunal and proximal ileal loops with mild dilatation of proximal jejunal loops (4.0 cm in diameter) - representing mesenteric ischemia. There is air in the corresponding mesenteric venules. No portal venous air. There is edematous wall thickening of mid and distal ileal loops (4 mm in thickness) with reduced wall enhancement - representing early ischemic changes. Mild free fluid. These features are consistent with acute mesenteric ischemia due to superior mesenteric artery thrombosis.
