| Popis: | The early detection of acute mesenteric ischemia is crucial for the preservation of bowel viability. The emergency physician must have a high index of suspicion to identify mesenteric ischemia when there is a paucity of physical examination findings. We discuss the case of a patient who presented to the emergency department with confusion, hyperglycemia, abdominal tenderness, and metabolic acidosis who also developed mesenteric ischemia. |
