Abstract

Idiopathic mesenteric phlebosclerosis (IMP) is a rare disease and it is easy to be misdiagnosed, which is characterized by intestinal obstruction symptoms, such as abdominal pain, bloating and vomiting. In this study, a case of IMP was observed and the literatures were reviewed. Computed tomography shows funicular high-density shadow and vascular calcification shadow along the vessels around the bowels. Narrow band imaging (M-NBI) endoscopy revealed the disappeared honeycomb capillary, the disordered microvascular structure and the increased density of blood vessels.

特发性肠系膜静脉硬化性肠炎在临床上十分罕见,通常以反复腹痛、腹胀、呕吐等肠梗阻症状多见,极易误诊。患者肠系膜断层扫描可见其典型的肠管周围沿血管走行的条索状高密度影,并可见血管钙化影,M-NBI肠镜可见蜂窝状的毛细血管网消失,微血管结构紊乱,血管密度增加。.
