This CT sign is potentially beneficial for the early diagnosis of acute SMA occlusion; however, few reports have documented this sign. The present study aimed to determine the accuracy of the smaller SMV sign for the detection of acute SMA occlusion %K Smaller SMV sign %K Acute superior mesenteric artery occlusion %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5891108/
