Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 57530
  • Image ID: 34876946
  • Image stack position: 65/113
  • Plane projection: Axial
  • Aux modality: C+ portal venous phase
  • Modality: CT
  • System: Gastrointestinal
  • Findings: Contrast-enhanced abdominal CT performed at portal phase showed a filling defect in the superior mesenteric artery 5 cm from its origin causing total occlusion of its lumen and extending to its distal branches. It is associated with subsequent long segment dilated thickened wall jejunal loops which show a grey attenuation pattern and adjacent fat stranding. Minimal free fluid is also noted. Prominent vascularity of mesentery is seen suggesting flow collateralisation. Multiple calcified atherosclerotic plaques are seen in the descending abdominal aorta and both common iliac arteries. MIP image shows multiple distal attenuated vessels due to partial thrombosis.
