In this case report we describe a case of meseriental thrombangitis obliterans in a 39-year-old, previously healthy female smoker. She was referred to hospital because of abdominal pains, nausea and diarrhoea. All tests where normal. One year later the patient was admitted due to fever and acute abdominal pain. Initial diagnostic laparoscopy was normal. The patient deteriorated and laparotomy was performed. Inflammation and gangrene was found in the small intestine. The pathological examination of the resected specimen determined that the diagnosis was mesenterial thrombangitis obliterans.

Background: Endothelial dysfunction is the key process in the development of atherosclerosis. The aim of our study was to evaluate endothelial dysfunction measured by the noninvasive technique of Celermajer that plays a role in the pathogenesis of thrombangitis obliterans.
Methods: A total of 36 patients with thrombangitiis obliterans ([TAO]; mean age 44.
Systemic and non-systemic vasculitis affecting the peripheral nerves.

Vasculitis affecting the peripheral nerves predominantly manifests as subacute, progressive, asymmetric sensorimotor polyneuropathy or mononeuritis multiplex, and more rarely as painful mononeuropathy, pure sensory neuropathy, neuropathy of the cranial nerves, plexopathy, or as autonomic neuropathy. Vasculitic neuropathy may occur isolated or non-isolated (systemic) together with involvement of other organs. Systemic vasculitis with involvement of the peripheral nerves is further subdivided into primary (Takayasu syndrome, giant cell arteritis, classical panarteritis nodosa, thrombangitis obliterans, Kawasaki disease, Churg-Strauss syndrome, Wegener granulomatosis, cryoglobulinemic vasculitis, Behcet disease, microscopic polyangitis, Schoenlein Henoch purpura) or secondary systemic vasculitis (autoimmune connective tissue diseases, vasculitis from infection, sarcoidosis, malignancy, drugs, radiation, or diabetes).
