Abstract
An 83-year-old man was fed through a gastrostomy tube and underwent rehabilitation at our hospital due to aftereffects of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) in the upper jejunum occurred in March 2012. Transgastrostomic endoscopy (TGE) was performed to inspect how the jejunal mucosa was damaged on day 1. Abrasion and edema of the mucosa with oozing were observed along a span of over 30 centimeters of the upper jejunum. Mucosal necrosis over a wide area was observed by TGE on day 9. This is a valuable case in which NOMI was observed by TGE.
