Abstract
|
|
|
|
Idiopathic mesenteric phlebosclerosis, rare disease entity causing chronic mesenteric ischemia is a member of non-thrombotic, non-inflammatory stenosis or occlusion of the mesenteric veins. The histologic hallmark is marked fibrous mural thickening and sclerosis of the vessel wall. It is frequently accompanied by calcification in the vessel wall. We report the case of a 61-year-old woman with idiopathic mesenteric phlebosclerosis. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported in Korea.
