Acute mesenteric ischemia is a serious disease whose prognosis depends on early diagnosis and therapeutic management. Recent imaging technics play a fundamental role in its diagnosis. There are many forms of mesenteric ischemia including the non-occlusive form which is rare among others. We report the case of a non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia by low flow in a patient with terminal renal disease placed on hemodialysis.

“…In non occlusive ischemic colitis, patients are asked to stop oral intake and are given full intravenous hydration [2]. In these 2 patients, the course of the disease was limited to less than 4 days and in the second patient, the colonoscopy turned out to be normal 1 week after the onset of the gastrointestinal bleeding.…”

“…Ischemic colitis consists of circulatory insufficiency to the colon and results in varying degree of local tissue injury or necrosis and systemic manifestations [1]. Ischemic colitis can be classified into occlusive and non occlusive ischemia [2, 3, 4]. The most common cause of ischemic colitis is iatrogenic interruption of the inferior mesenteric artery during aortic surgery [5, 6].…”

Ischemic bowel disease is generally considered a disease of the elderly and usually consists of reversible colopathy. Nonocclusive causes of ischemic colitis include low-flow states due to cardiac dysfunction and hypovolemia and use of certain medications including progestational medication. We report 2 cases of ischemic colitis in young women. The first one occurred in a young patient who developed three consecutive episodes of ischemic colitis during her pregnancy, whereas the second woman presented with ischemic colitis in relation with the estrogen use. Each episode had a favorable outcome. Having ruled out an infectious cause, or a low blood flow state and in the absence of known thrombogenic disease, we hypothesized the etiology of these ischemic episodes to a high level of circulating estrogens due to pregnancy in the first case and oral contraceptive medication in the second. Physicians treating hemorrhagic colitis in young women should consider the use of contraceptive medication containing estrogens or pregnancy as possible causes.
