Opening of the article
Acute or chronic intestinal can be the result of many different pathophysiological processes. Presentation may be benign to life threatening, if not recognized swiftly. We present two acs4es of chronic intestinal ischemia with varied presentation resulting in hypoplasia of the intestinal wall with smooth serosa in one & hyperplasia of the intestinal wall in the other. Both patients underwent physical examination, blood analysis, X-Ray chest, abdomen & selective superior mesentereric arteriography (SMA). One patient showed filling defect at the root of SMA with poor blood flow and occlusion at the distal ileocolic artery suggestive of acute embolism of SMA with no bowel necrosis.
