ABSTRACT
Growing evidences indicate that the development of mesenteric phlebosclerosis (MP) is associated with long-term gardenia fruit (GF) intake. Besides duration and total dosage of GF ingestion, other factors associated with the development of MP or the symptoms of MP have not been known. We searched for previous case reports of MP from Japan. MP patients were divided into two groups asymptomatic group without abdominal symptoms or symptomatic group. Age, gender ratio, body size, and duration of GF ingestion of the both groups were statistically analyzed. We evaluated concomitant diseases that can cause elevated venous pressure in the both groups. Colectomy rate were compared between symptomatic men and symptomatic women. Severe symptoms including ileus, stenosis peritonitis, and perforation were also compared between men and women. Age and sex were analyzed in all 164 cases. The gender ratio of women to men in the symptomatic group was higher than that in the asymptomatic group. However, colectomy rate in the symptomatic group was similar between men and women. Ileus, stenosis, peritonitis, and perforation were similarly found in both men and women. We found 15 symptomatic MP patients with concomitant diseases that can cause phlebostasis. None of the asymptomatic had these diseases. Concomitant diseases that can cause elevated venous pressure might be associated with symptomatic MP. The severity of MP seems to be similar between men and women. Association of gender difference with the development of MP symptoms was uncertain.
