Bowel infarction results from restricted blood supply to the bowel, most often due to bowel obstruction or occlusion of one of the mesenteric arteries. Bowel obstruction is most often caused by intestinal adhesions, which frequently form after abdominal surgeries, or by chronic infections such as diverticulitis, hepatitis, and inflammatory bowel disease. The condition is difficult to diagnose properly, as the symptoms may resemble those of other bowel disorders. Patients who have undergone extensive resection of the small bowel may develop malabsorption, indicating the need for dietary supplements. Volvulus is a rare but life-threatening cause of bowel infarction which requires immediate medical attention. Central abdominal pain which is resistant to narcotic analgesia may be an indication of bowel infarction. ==See also== * Adhesions * Ischemic colitis * Volvulus 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「bowel infarction」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
