This is a case report of a younger woman admitted to hospital with abdominal pain and weight loss. Four weeks after admittance, she was diagnosed with severe bowel ischaemia at laparotomy. Arteriography showed occlusive disease in the mesenteric arteries, with was treated with a stent. The entire intestine was preserved, apart from 10 cm of jejunum due to bowel perforation. The diagnosis of polyarteritis nodosa was confirmed based on biopsy and clinical symptoms.
