Core Tip	The clinical data of two idiopathic mesenteric phlebosclerosis (IMP) patients in our hospital were collected. Both patients presented with recurrent ileus and displayed typical imaging characteristics such as dark purple mucosa on endoscopy and calcifications in mesenteric veins on computed tomography enterography. Both patients confirmed long-term use of Chinese medical liquor. After discontinuing the product, the first patient received conservative treatment, while the second underwent surgery. To date, both patients remain healthy. Following a literature review, a further 50 cases of IMP were analyzed, and it was concluded that the use of Chinese medicines may play a role in the pathogenesis of IMP.
