Two cases of verified abdominal angina are presented. Multiple, atypical ulcerations in the postbulbar duodenum were diagnosed endoscopically in both cases. Atypical gastric ulcers were also present in one case.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The purpose of this review is to discuss the pathophysiology and clinical presentation of chronic mesenteric ischemia and to suggest a diagnostic flowchart for this complex condition.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abdominal angina is an underrecognized cause of postprandial abdominal pain and weightloss.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract A young man with severe abdominal pain and weightloss due to intestinal ischemia was examined. At operation, the origins of the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries were found to be compressed by plexiform neurofibromatosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The pain was chronic, of pressure-like quality, constant but worsened by exertion and mostly by eating resulting in significant unintentional weightloss. A work-up for myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism and peptic ulcer disease was negative.[shmabstracts.com]
Outstanding symptoms include postprandial pain, weightloss, and constipation. Gastrointestinal studies may be negative or may show evidence of impaired intestinal motility, excessive fat in the feces, and occult blood.[jamanetwork.com]
The classic triad of abdominal pain, weightloss, and diarrhea produces fear of eating. Most laboratory and radiologic investigations are inconclusive.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The surgical procedures in the treatment of abdominal angina are not significantly different from that for coronaryarterydisease (CAD) and a myocardial infarction (heart attack). There are basically three options : Widening the narrowed artery.[healthhype.com]
In addition other signs of peripheral vascular disease like calf claudications, coronaryarterydisease, etc may also be present.[tandurust.com]
The abdominal pain is a consequence of blood flow not being able to meet visceral demand and is therefore thought to be similar to angina pectoris in patients with coronaryarterydisease or claudication in peripheral vascular diesease.[casesjournal.biomedcentral.com]
The patient was relieved of abdominalpain immediately after the dilatation.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abdominal angina refers to abdominalpain in which perfusion to digestive tissues has been compromised, usually due to mesenteric atherosclerosis. Pathology can progress to necrosis of vital viscera, sepsis, or even death.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Patient may be constipated or may have diarrhea. The pain may continue for many hours as the digestive system is exerted, due to decreased blood supply, in order to digest the food. Upon palpation, the abdomen often feels hollow and soft.[epainassist.com]
Other symptoms Nausea Vomiting Bloating Constipation or diarrhea Weight loss Abdominal angina diagnosis The symptoms, particularly the location, duration and nature of the pain after eating, along with the patient’s medical history may raise the suspicion[healthhype.com]
Abstract A young man with severeabdominalpain and weight loss due to intestinal ischemia was examined. At operation, the origins of the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries were found to be compressed by plexiform neurofibromatosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The patient usually complains of severeabdominalpain that starts after eating a meal. In most cases, the pain gradually subsides after a few hours. Because the pain is so severe, most people develop a fear of eating and hence lose weight.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Acute Mesenteric Ischemia often presents with sudden and severeabdominalpain .[diagnose-me.com]
Symptoms Early signs and symptoms of acute mesenteric ischemia include: Severeabdominalpain, concentrated in one area of the abdomen Nausea and/or vomiting Bloody stools History of chronic atrial fibrillation or cardiovascular disease Diagnosis An arteriogram[my.clevelandclinic.org]
An abdominalbruit may be heard in some patients. One may also find features of peripheral vascular disease with diminished pulses in the leg. The digital rectal exam is usually guaiac negative.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The abdomen is scaphoid and soft and abdominalbruit is present in almost 80% of the patients. In addition other signs of peripheral vascular disease like calf claudications, coronary artery disease, etc may also be present.[tandurust.com]

Abdominalbruits are present in 60% to 80% of patients with AA. 3 Also, patients will often show classic signs of PVD, as this is a frequent comorbidity of AA.[journals.lww.com]
Examination may show vague abdominal tenderness disproportionate to the severity of the pain, an abdominalbruit and signs of generalised cardiovascular disease.[patient.info]
A few days after the onset of symptoms, the pain became more severe, and progressed into a picture of acuteabdomen and intestinal obstruction. Urgent laparotomy findings showed the presence of small bowel gangrene.[unboundmedicine.com]
Presentation [ 10 ] The condition may be difficult to diagnose, with nonspecific symptoms of an 'acuteabdomen', such as acute-onset abdominal pain. The pain is most frequently located in the left iliac fossa.[patient.info]
Mesenteric ischemia has an annual incidence of 0.09% to 0.2% per patient year , although this may be underreported. 1 Approximately 1% of acuteabdomen hospitalizations are the result of mesenteric ischemia and it occurs in one in 1,000 patients presenting[emdocs.net]
Later, features of an acuteabdomen with tenderness and guarding, and leucocytosis may appear. This is differentiated from arterial occlusion by one of the associated diseases that is commonly present.[surgwiki.com]
Abdominal involvement was the cause of death in 4 (4.9%) patients (3 patients with liver failure and 1 patient with acuteabdomen) [ 124 , 125 ].[academic.oup.com]
To conclude, this is a rare case of abdominal angina due to occlusive mesenteric vasculardisease.[casesjournal.biomedcentral.com]
The most common cause of abdominal angina is atherosclerotic vasculardisease, where the occlusive process commonly involves the ostia and the proximal few centimeters of the mesenteric vessels.[parasitetesting.com]

Prognosis Surgical management is the criterion standard for treatment of this disease. [3] Despite advances in surgery, the mortality associated with acute mesenteric ischemia is in the range of 60-95%.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Prognosis Surgical management is the standard for treatment of this disease. The mortality is still in the range of 60-95%.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis In cases of mesenteric artery ischemia , prognosis is especially poor if the patient is not treated quickly. Even with treatment the risk of death is 30-90%, depending on the stage at which treatment is started.[diagnose-me.com]

Etiology Ischemia of the intestine results from an imbalance of oxygen supply to and oxygen consumption by the GI tract. A decrease in blood flow results from decreased size of mesenteric vessels.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The etiology includes the following: Atherosclerosis Smoking Epidemiology The syndrome is extremely rare, and the true incidence is unknown. The mean age of affected individuals is slightly older than 60 years.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Epidemiology Abdominal angina is rare and has a high mortality rate. It is more common in females and the elderly. The problem with diagnosis is that the symptoms are often vague and no work up is ever done.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
