Abstract

Lower gastrointestinal bleeding was more common as the presenting symptom in transitory forms of ischemic colitis. An acute abdomen indicates serious forms requiring surgery. Therefore the initial clinical symptoms determine the treatment provided. Advanced age is a poor prognostic factor for ischemic colitis. Risk factors in our series were presentation as acute abdomen and advanced age.
