Ischemic colitis arising in watershed areas of the colonic blood supply: A report of two cases
Abstract
There are several weak points in the colonic blood supply, known as watershed areas, which result from incomplete anastomoses of the marginal arteries. These watershed areas are more vulnerable to ischemic injury than other parts of the colon. We report herein the cases of two patients who developed ischemic colitis well localized in the cecum, and in the rectosigmoid region at Sudeck's point, respectively. This report and our review of the literature suggest that watershed areas, including the splenic flexure, or Griffith's point, Sudeck's point, and the ileocecal region, are high-risk regions for the development of ischemic colitis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
