Abstract
We describe a case of extensive mesenteric venous thrombosis with small bowel infarction. Multidetector row computed tomography with curved planar reformation clearly demonstrated the full extents of the mesenteric venous thrombus and the infarcted bowel loops. The length of infarcted segment could be estimated from the curved planar reformatted image and correlated well with operative findings. To our knowledge, this is the first presentation and measurement of infarcted bowel loops on curved planar reformation.
