 note = {Ischemic colitis is characterized by lesions arising from colonic ischemia. The treatment of choice is surgery, and resection of the affected segment is often life saving. This study presents a case of segmental ischemic colonic stenosis of the splenic flexure. A 70-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with abdominal pain and distension. Physical examination revealed mild tenderness of the left-upper abdomen but no peritoneal signs. A computed tomography scan demonstrated a thickening of the splenic flexure of the colon with active inflammation. A gastrografin enema revealed a 5-cm-long tight stricture at the left transverse colon, which suggested a subileus. Surgery for segmental ischemic colonic stenosis was performed because the stricture did not respond to treatment. Pathological examination revealed features typical of ischemic colitis, including ulceration and segmental colonic stenosis of the splenic flexure, but revealed no evidence of tumors, lymph node swelling, or vascular disorder.},
