Abstract

Buerger's disease is a non-arteriosclerotic, segmental, inflammatory vascular occlusive disease, primarily affecting medium and small sized arteries of limbs. Mesenteric vascular involvement of this entity is a rarely seen manifestation. In this report, we present a case of Buerger's disease in which intestinal involvement was diagnosed by means of multi-detector CT.
