Isolated visceral manifestation of Buerger's disease presenting as intestinal obstruction: a case report.
Ann Med Surg (Lond)

Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology.
Introduction And Importance: Buerger's disease is an uncommon segmental nonatherosclerotic vasculitis essentially affecting small to medium-sized arteries and veins of upper and lower extremities and can lead to limb amputation. Visceral vessel involvement is quite rare accounting for 2% of cases presenting with acute abdomen due to mesenteric ischemia. Moreover, isolated visceral involvement is even rare.

Article Synopsis
- A study assessed the demographics and health conditions of 3,220 patients in Japan with thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO), finding that 87.6% were male and a significant portion were elderly, with 17.0% having undergone amputation.
- The research indicated that smoking history increased amputation rates, showing a notable difference between smokers and non-smokers (17.7% vs. 13.0%), suggesting that smoking adversely affects patient outcomes.
- The findings underscore that TAO primarily threatens patients' limbs rather than being life-threatening; thus, comprehensive long-term health support, including smoking cessation and managing related health conditions, is vital for improving patient quality of life.
Psychiatric sequelae of thromboangiitis obliterans: a case report and review of the literature.

Background: Peripheral manifestations secondary to progressive vascular occlusions are characteristic of the rare condition termed thromboangiitis obliternas (TAO) or Buerger's disease. The central manifestations of this disease are however poorly characterized, particularly those of psychiatric nature, and their prevalence is largely unknown. Speculations have been made around the polymorphic nature and triggers of observed psychopathology in TAO; much however remains to be unraveled in this area.

Young-onset dementia (YOD, age at onset below 45 y) has a broad differential diagnosis. We describe a 41-year-old man with atypical manifestations of YOD syndrome in cerebral thromoboangiitis obliterans (CTAO). Extensive antemortem workup including clinical assessment, laboratory investigations, neuroimaging, and genetic testing did not elucidate a diagnosis.
