Acute mesenteric ischemia in a child: A rare case report and diagnostic challenge in the emergency department

The authors present a rare case of acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) in a previously healthy 15-year-old boy, aiming to highlight the diagnostic challenges associated with this condition in adolescents. They emphasize the importance of early clinical suspicion and prompt surgical intervention, as traditional risk factors and symptoms may not be present. This case underscores the need for heightened awareness of AMI in younger patients to improve outcomes.
