Article Synopsis
- Acute mesenteric ischaemia and duodenal perforation are serious surgical emergencies, with high mortality rates; ischaemia can reach up to 60%, while perforations have lower rates of 6-14%.
- A rare case of a 53-year-old Italian woman presented with both conditions simultaneously, marking the first report of this dual pathology without a common cause.
- Prompt intensive care management and surgery improved the patient's survival chances, with two potential explanations for her condition: either duodenal ulceration led to bowel ischaemia or stress-related ulcers developed after ischaemic injury from arterial thrombosis.
