Abstract
Idiopathic mesenteric phlebosclerotic colitis(IMP) is a rare disease. At present, the etiology and pathogenesis are not clear, but the main patients are Asian people, and most of them have a history of taking Chinese herbal medicines. The disease has characteristic endoscopic and imaging manifestations. This paper shares a case of IMP, The patient came to our hospital for one year because of intermittent abdominal pain and diarrhea. It conforms to the typical manifestations of IMP. For patients who take Chinese herbal medicine for a long time, if they have clinical manifestations of gastrointestinal tract, it is necessary to consider the possibility of the disease to avoid serious consequences due to missed diagnosis.
