Two cases of mesenteric thrombosis from the practice of emergency surgery

The diagnosis of mesenteric vascular thrombosis to this day does not go beyond the limits of assumptions, since the recognition of this suffering is extremely difficult even with modern research methods. Usually, in such cases, we have a clinical picture of intestinal obstruction proceeding according to the type of strangulation, and an accurate diagnosis of the disease is often placed on the operating table or on the sectional table. Acute colicky pain in the epigastric region, which is considered characteristic of mesenteric thrombosis, is often absent; most often we see them with embolism of these vessels. This will become clear if we remember that thrombosis in most cases occurs slowly, and therefore / and the clinical picture will not have an acute onset, as is the case with an embolus, where the onset is usually always acute. An exception to this is thrombosis of an infectious nature.
