Reflections on mesenteric infarct

The authors relate their statistic about mesenteric infarction in the last five years and they get out the starting point in order to check the characteristics of a disease, which is today distinguished by an infaust prognosis. After few mentions about etiopathology and pathologic anatomy they keep their attention on clinic manifestations of disease and on diagnostic research. After dealing with medical and surgical therapy they declare how more refined diagnostic technique could help early diagnosis and consequently decrease morbidity and morbidity, which are completely unacceptable.
