Two patients with atrial fibrillation had abrupt onset of abdominal pain and massive small bowel distension suggesting mesenterial artery embolism. One patient had dilation of the left atrium and ventricle, the other a mitral value prolapse syndrome with a dilated left atrium. Both patients were treated conservatively and gradually recovered. A small bowel series performed several weeks after the acute episode showed loss of normal mucosa and narrowing of a long segment of the small bowel. A control examination in one patient one year later, still revealed jejunal mucosal abnormalities and stenosis, features similar to those occurring in Crohn's disease. Our observations suggest that analogous to ischemic colitis, an entity of acute ischemic small bowel enteritis exists. Mesenteric ischemia apparently can induce a clinical syndrome of "regional enteritis". The radiologic features should not be confused with those of Crohn's disease.

A double-wattled cassowary died following a clinical course of severe diarrhea, anorexia, and polydypsia. At necropsy, prolapse of the penis, severe enteritis, and swelling of the kidneys with subcapsular heavy deposits of urates were noted. Histologic lesions comprised nephrosis, interstitial edemia of the muscle, and sloughing of the intestinal villi. Leaves collected from the gizzard were identified as coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia). Diagnosis of oak poisoning was made based on the renal lesions and the finding of a high content of tannins in the liver and gastrointestinal tract. Oak poisoning has not been reported previously in avian species.

Seventy-eight cases of rectal prolapse in childhood treated during a 3-year period are reviewed retrospectively. A cause of prolapse which could be corrected surgically was found in 9 children (12%). Among the remaining 69, 25 children (36%) were infested with a variety of parasites, 4 (6%) had a specific dysentery, and 6 (9%) had a convincing clinical picture of gastro-enteritis. In 34 patients no precise diagnosis could be made; however, among children without a mechanical or neurological lesion, 90% responded rapidly to anthelmintics and symptomatic treatment.
