“…This paper describes a patient who presented with chronic diarrhoea and intermittent claudication from thrombosis of the abdominal aorta and the inferior mesenteric artery. Analogous cases of steatorrhoea due to ischaemia of the small intestine from involvement of the superior mesenteric artery have been reported by Hawkins (1957), Joske et al (1958), Shaw and Maynard (1958, and Clark and Murray (1962).…”

“…2 Before 1972, the 11 reports of isolated SMA dissections resulted in death, and the diagnosis was made at the time of autopsy. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] By contrast, since 1975, survival was achieved in all but one reported case by using a variety of treatment options. The purpose of this article is to describe three isolated SMA dissections and review the literature for diagnosis and treatment on this unique and relatively rare disease.…”
