Introduction: Acute mesenteric ischemia is a rare complication of thromboembolic diseases in the mesenteric vessels, which was noted to occur due to the hypercoagulable circulation associated with pregnancy.
Case Report: This paper presents a case report of acute mesenteric ischemia in a 9 weeks pregnant female, who was diagnosed late due to the nonspecific presentation of the disease yet was adequately treated with an acceptable result.
Conclusion: Early detection and treatment of such disease prevents further deterioration of the mother’s condition, thus ensuring a favorable outcome for both the mother and the fetus.
