Mesenteric ischemia and antiphospholipid syndrome is a rare combination but should be suspected as a differential diagnosis. This may be presented as diffuse abdominal pain typically after food intake, diarrhea, and weight loss. Early recognition is warranted, and nutrition, stenting, and anticoagulant treatments are indicated.
