Chronic ischemic gastropathy as an unusual cause of abdominal pain

Resumen

Ischaemic gastropathy is a rare condition with a highly variable clinical spectrum. Its presentation varies from chronic abdominal pain to fatal cases of fulminant gastric ischaemia if it develops abruptly[1]. There are several aetiologies of abdominal pain, however, early diagnosis of this pathology will allow a targeted therapeutic approach, which may improve prognosis and avoid fatal consequences.
