Meanwhile, a CT angiogram abdomen and pelvis showed extensive pneumatosis-intestinalis involving the ascending colon extending to the level of the hepatic flexure (Figure 1), with moderate associated colonic wall thickening, and adjacent mesenteric/peri colonic fat stranding and edema plus fluid consistent with mesenteric ischemia, near complete occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery and inferior mesenteric artery (Figure 2), occlusive thrombus within the right common iliac artery.
