Relationship between severity of venous calcifications and symptoms of phlebosclerotic colitis

Table 1 Scoring system of calcification of phlebosclerotic colitis

Calcifications limited in straight vein of the colon (× 1)

Calcifications extended to the paracolic marginal vein (× 2)

Calcifications extended to the main branch of mesenteric vein (× 3)

The proximal end of the main branch is involved (× 4)

The score of mesenteric venous calcification in every branch was summed in each patient to represent the severity of their mesenteric calcification.
