Colonic (splenic flexure) necrosis due to thrombosis of the middle colic artery following blunt abdominal trauma

Abstract

We report an unusual case of a 28-year-old man who developed a colonic necrosis due to thrombosis of the middle colic artery 18 hours following blunt abdominal trauma. Although rare, this condition can occur in those patients whom non surgical treatment was initially performed.

“…The aggregating agents continue to migrate along the blood vascular system, triggering septic embolism, which caused inflammatory arteritis, haemorrhage and thrombosis (Foote, Reagan, & Sandok, 1978). Signs derived from septic embolism lead to systemic necrosis resulting in death (Coimbra, Aguiar, Rasslan, & Ressurreição, 1994;Crow et al, 2009;Hirata et al, 2006;Sato & Benirschke, 2006).…”
