Acute mesenteric embolism may present with features of multiple other site embolism which is associated with high mortality rate. The incidence of brachial artery embolism and renal artery embolism associated with SMA embolism is rarely described. The signs and symptoms of ischemic change in bowel which present as acute abdomen may masks other circumstances alike brachial artery embolism and renal infarct. In these cases, a delayed diagnosis of other embolism can result in significant morbidity or mortality.
