Table 4
New diagnostic criteria for ischemic enteritis.
Diagnosis of ischemic enteritis fulfilling criteria 1 and 3 or criteria 2 and 3
(1) Histopathological findings from an endoscopic biopsy specimen or resected bowel segment compatible with ischemic enteritis
(2) Segmental wall thickness on imaging or ulceration on endoscopic images, suggestive of ischemic enteritis based on time-dependent changes
(3) Exclusion of other known etiologies, such as Crohn’s disease, infectious disease (intestinal tuberculosis, intestinal anisakiasis, and others), NSAID-related ulcers (chronic nonspecific multiple tuberculosis, intestinal anisakiasis, and others), NSAID-related ulcers, chronic nonspecific multiple ulcers of the small intestine, radiation enteritis, or malignant tumor based on clinical course and histopathological findings
Some types of ulceration and granular structures at the ulcer base.
