Abstract

Segmental Ischaemia of the Terminal Ileum: A Diagnostic Dilemma during Emergency Laparotomy?

Chaturvedi S and Justine Downing

Although a rare clinical scenario, this potential diagnosis should be borne in mind during emergency laparotomy where acute inflammation of the terminal ileum is encountered.
