Popis:	Acute mesenteric ischemia is a serious condition associated with high mortality. Multislice CT and magnetic resonance angiography have proved accurate in diagnosing this pathology, which requires a prompt diagnosis to start appropriate therapy. We report the case of an 87-year-old woman with acute mesenteric ischemia, in whom contrast-enhanced sonography visualized the occluded superior mesenteric artery and the infarcted portion of the intestine.
