Tumor intestinal obstruction as a cause of ischemic enterocolitis (review and case report)

AIM : to analyze, based on literature data, a clinical case of total necrotizing obstructive enterocolitis in a patient with CO. CLINICAL CASE: a stable patient with no comorbidities developed septic shock within hours following tumor stenting for CO. The underlying cause was ischemia of both the small and large intestines. The patient required subtotal colectomy and prolonged treatment in the intensive care unit to achieve recovery. CONCLUSION : colon ischemia in the context of CO remains an under-researched condition, with undefined diagnostic criteria and a high postoperative mortality rate. This issue warrants close attention and broader discussion within the medical community.
