[Ischemic colitis as a cause of colon-engendered diarrhea].

A detailed description of the typical clinical symptoms of ischemic colitis reveals, in which rare cases this illness is the cause of cologenic diarrhea. Initial laboratory findings are after not specific and are not of much diagnostic use, except when this itself hints at the possibility of ischemic colitis. On the other hand, contrast enema and endoscopy yield definitive information. The diagnosis can be confirmed by means of a biopsy. The question why one should follow conservative expectant therapy rather than surgery, when there is a strong suspicion or even proof of ischemic colitis, is discussed. Possible variations of the course of ischemic colitis and their therapeutic consequences are discussed.

[Intestinal infarct due to spontaneous mesenterial and intramural anticoagulant hemorrhage].

A 69-year-old man who had been anticoagulated for 18 months reported with acute pain in the epigastric region. Laparotomy revealed more than 1 liter of unclotted blood in the peritoneal cavity and, in the mesentery of the medium small bowel, a number of fist-size hematomas and a 30 cm long, hemorrhagic, fibrin-coated small bowel segment gangrenously infarcted in the middle section. It is shown why a spontaneous "anticoagulant" hemorrhage must be regarded as the cuase of the gangrenous intestinal infarction.

[Clinical aspects and therapy of spontaneous under-anticoagulants-occurring intramural intestinal hemorrhages].

Massive spontaneous "anticoagulant" hemorrhage in the bowel wall may cause an acute abdomen with signs of intestinal obstruction within a few hours. An operative revision is indicated if a barium study is not possible to secure this rare diagnosis and therefore other much commoner causes of an acute abdominal illness are not to be excluded. While out of 42 patients, in whom the hemorrhagic segment was resected, only two died as a probable result of the operation, several cases are known where a survival without laparotomy was unimaginable. The dangers of a laparotomy should not, therefore, be overemphasized.
