- Etiology: trauma causing profound systemic vasoconstriction in shock in order to maintain cerebral and coronary perfusion, is reperfusion injury to gut following hypotension and intestinal ischemia
- Imaging: small caliber aorta and inferior vena cava, intense renal / adrenal / pancreas enhancement, diffusely dilated fluid-filled thickened bowel loops with intense enhancement, may have mesenteric and peritoneal fluid
- Clinical: marker of hypovolemic shock, very poor prognosis – 85% die within 72 hours
