Phlebosclerotic colitis (PC) is a rare form of ischemic colitis that usually affects the right hemicolon. It is due to ischemia induced by phlebosclerosis in the branches of the superior mesenteric vein that disturb venous return from the colon. The clinical course is different from that of the more common type of ischemic colitis caused by arterial disease. We encountered a 73-year-old woman with PC who had the characteristic computed tomographic finding of fine linear venous calcification that was mainly perpendicular to the long axis of the colon.
静脉硬化性结肠炎(PC)是一种罕见的缺血性结肠炎,通常累及右半结肠。它是由肠系膜上静脉分支的静脉硬化引起的缺血所致,这种硬化干扰了结肠的静脉回流。其临床病程与由动脉疾病引起的更常见类型的缺血性结肠炎不同。我们遇到一名患有静脉硬化性结肠炎的73岁女性,她具有特征性的计算机断层扫描表现,即主要垂直于结肠长轴的细线性静脉钙化。
