EP is often misdiagnosed as inflammatory bowel disease, carcinoma, or diverticulitis due to non-specific symptoms as well as non-specific clinical and radiological findings. While unresponsive to pharmacotherapy, surgical resection of the affected bowel appears to be the only successful therapy with a very low recurrence rate. Etiology of EP remains unknown. We report a case of EP with rare presentation in the left hemicolon and unusual histological findings emphasizing the heterogeneity of this cause of enterocolic ischemia. The review and comparison of the three entities\u2014EP, mesenteric inflammatory veno-occlusive disease (MIVOD), and idiopathic myointimal hyperplasia of mesenteric veins (IMHMV), all describing patterns of bowel ischemia due to isolated pathology of mesenteric veins\u2014reveal that the current terminology is unclear. EP and MIVOD are very similar and may be considered the same disease. IMHMV, though, differs in localization, symptom duration, and histological findings but also shares features with EP and MIVOD. Further studies and harmonized terminology are inevitable for better understanding of the disease, prevention of unnecessary pharmacotherapy, and reduction in time to diagnosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/gastro\/goad002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,2]],"date-time":"2023-02-02T00:17:55Z","timestamp":1675297075000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Enterocolic
