Chronic mesenteric ischemia and variety of clinical forms

Abstract

One of the possible causes of persistent abdominal pain syndrome is chronic intestinal ischemia, caused by a certain degree of occlusion of the mesenteric vessels. Due to the variety of clinical manifestations, their low specificity and lack of awareness of general practitioners, timely diagnosis of chronic mesenteric insufficiency syndrome (CMN) is difficult. These studies indicate the important influence of visceral blood flow disorders in the genesis of abdominal pain syndrome and the necessity to study hemodynamics in the abdominal aortic basin in older patients with gastroenterological polymorbidity.
