Nonocclusive Mesenteric Ischemia after Chemotherapy in an Adolescent Patient with a History of Three Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantations for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Nonocclusive Mesenteric Ischemia after Chemotherapy in an Adolescent Patient with a History of Three Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantations for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) is induced by intestinal vasospasm without thromboembolic occlusion and is associated with high morbidity and mortality.
