• In a prospective cohort of acute mesenteric ischemia patients from an intestinal stroke center, 28% had an associated colonic involvement on CT. • Colonic involvement on CT most commonly affected the right colon, and the occlusion of the inferior mesenteric artery was the only risk factor. • Colonic involvement on CT was associated with increased morbidity and mortality and should be carefully searched for during initial CT scan assessment.
