Overview
The hallmark of mesenteric ischemia symptoms is 'abdominal pain out of proportion to the examination findings'. A positive history of chronic cardiovascular disorder, old age and abdominal pain is suggestive of mesenteric ischemia, unless proven otherwise. The most common symptoms of mesenteric ischemia include excruciating abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, and nausea/vomiting. Symptoms of chronic mesenteric ischemia caused by atherosclerosis include abdominal pain after eating and diarrhea, while that of acute mesenteric ischemia due to an embolus include diarrhea, sudden severe abdominal pain, and vomiting.
History
Patients suffering from mesenteric ischemia may have a positive history of:[1][2]
| Personal history | Medical history | Surgical history | Family history |

Symptoms
- The severity and rapidity of mesenteric vessels occlusion determine the symptoms of mesenteric ischemia. [3][4][5]
