Ischaemic gangrene of the bowel is a dramatic clinical event, often posing great difficulty in the diagnosis at the time of admission but usually results in to a massive small bowel gangrene leading to high mortality (60-80%) (1,2).
The resected bowel tissues were then sent for histopathological examination which showed characteristic features suggestive of ischaemic gangrene. In cases of stomach gangrene mucosa was lost (Fig.1a), gastric glands were healthy denoting that no other pathology were observed in the mucosa (Fig.1b) blood vessels had mucous plug (Fig.1c) besides infiltration of inflammatory cells suggestive of vasculitis.
