    AbstractA 72-year-old woman in good general health presented a massive intestinal and colonic ischemia with rapid post-operative death, due to mesenteric inflammatory veno-occlusive disease. Mesenteric inflammatory veno-occlusive disease, first described in 1994, is a vasculitis of unknown etiology limited to the mesenteric area, affecting exclusively veins and venules and sparing arteries. Histologically, there are acute lesions of lymphocytic and/or necrotizing, sometimes granulomatous phlebitis and chronic lesions of myointimal hyperplasia reducing the lumen of the veins. In this case, polymorphonuclear eosinophils were particularly numerous.
