Abstrakt:	The term "acute mesenteric ischemia" (AMI) refers to a set of conditions where the blood supply to various segments of the small intestine is cut off, causing ischemia and subsequent inflammatory changes that might result in bowel gangrene. Estimates place the incidence between 0.09% and 0.2% of all acute surgical hospitalizations. Early diagnosis is essential, despite the entity being a rare cause of abdominal discomfort, because if left untreated, mortality is 50%. Herein, we present a case series of three patients with bowel ischemia following blunt abdominal trauma. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.
