Superior Mesenteric Artery Occlusion Caused by Infective Endocarditis and Worsened by Mycotic Aneurysm and Intracranial Hemorrhage: A Case Report

The superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is more commonly occluded than other abdominal arteries due to anatomical factors. Though rare, SMA occlusion is life-threatening. We present the case of a 50-year-old male patient who presented with fever and abdominal pain and was subsequently diagnosed with SM...

description The superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is more commonly occluded than other abdominal arteries due to anatomical factors. Though rare, SMA occlusion is life-threatening. We present the case of a 50-year-old male patient who presented with fever and abdominal pain and was subsequently diagnosed with SMA embolism, SMA mycotic aneurysm, and infective endocarditis. Many patients visit the emergency room complaining of abdominal pain. Although SMA occlusion diagnosis is rare in these cases, detailed examination and close monitoring of patients are warranted considering the high mortality rate of this disease.
