Abstract
Thromboangiitis obliterans characteristically affects small- and medium-siz ed vessels of the limbs in young smokers. There is some controversy about t he existence of visceral localizations of the disease. The case of a patien t with a well-established diagnosis of thromboangiitis obliterans who prese nted with mesenteric ischemia is described and the literature concerning me senteric involvement in the disease is reviewed.
