“…Yet, when it happens in pregnancy it becomes a life-threatening condition to both the mother and the fetus making early diagnosis crucial. However, due to the vague abdominal symptoms during pregnancy and the preferability to avoid radiological investigations, diagnosis of MVT becomes challenging [1].…”

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.

Intestinal obstruction during pregnancy is very rare. The mechanical intestinal obstruction was mostly due to adhesion from previous surgery. Pregnancy may mask the symptoms of intestinal obstruction, and virgin abdomen adds to the ambiguity of the diagnosis. The mortality and morbidity increased for the mother and the fetus in the presence of bowel gangrene. We present a case of intestinal obstruction at mid-term pregnancy with extensive small bowel gangrene which necessitates right hemicolectomy and ends with a good outcome for the mother and fetus.
