A distinction is drawn between coeliac-mesenteric occlusion in intestinal infarct, vascular insufficiency, and fully compensated occlusion. The clinical picture of the first is that of acute abdomen with serious circulatory shock syndrome, whereas chronic insufficiency is marked by episodic pain triggered by eating, effort, drugs, etc., canalisation disturbances, meteorism, constipation or diarrhoea, intestinal stenosis, wasting and malabsorption. Their medical management and its principles, possibilities and limits are discussed.
