Mesenteric thrombosis is usually a dramatic episode. Recently, a case of mesenteric thrombosis was seen in which the course was not sudden and spectacular but slow and progressive. Because of the unusual duration of the disease and the diagnostic problems encountered a report of this case seemed justified. The pathema of mesenteric thrombosis is an involvement of the superior or inferior mesenteric vessels either by embolism or by thrombosis. Over 70 per cent of the cases are venous in origin, and the superior mesenteric vessels are more frequently involved than the inferior vessels.' The following conditions have been described as causes of mesenteric thrombosis: valvular heart lesions, arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis, aneurysm of the abdominal aorta or superior mesenteric vessels, blood dyscrasias (polycythemia vera and leukemia), abdominal tumors, trauma (blows, great exertion, straining, parturition), septic foci (diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, and pelvic infections), predisposing factors (surgery of the stomach, appendix, hernia, and pelvis), and finally a small group in which no primary cause can be demonstrated.

This chapter discusses leg ulcers, including definitions, differential diagnosis, context, approach to diagnosis, specific clues to the diagnosis, key diagnostic tests, treatment and therapy, prognosis, and how to handle uncertainty in the diagnosis of the symptom. Leg ulcers are defined as open wounds, usually below the knee, persisting for more than 6 weeks.
