Abstract
Ischemic bowel diseases are a heterogeneous group of disorders that have as their unifying feature hypoxia of the small intestine and/or large intestine.1 Small-bowel ischemia has been classified into extensive ischemia and segmental ischemia.2 Segmental ischemia is uncommon and can be associated with a variety of clinical manifestations but usually lacks severe systemic consequences.3 Segmental ischemia is caused by various conditions, such as limited embolism or thrombosis in the setting of hypercoagulable states, trauma, strangulation, collagen-vascular diseases, vasculitis, radiation injury, and drugs.
