Acute intestinal ischemia complicating mesenteric venous thrombosis

Acute mesenteric venous thrombosis is a rare condition but serious. We report here a new case in a 35-year-old man presenting with paroxysmal abdominal pain during 13 days. The diagnosis of superior mesenteric venous thrombosis was confirmed by CT angiography, and the patient was operated on the thi...

Description
Summary:Acute mesenteric venous thrombosis is a rare condition but serious. We report here a new case in a 35-year-old man presenting with paroxysmal abdominal pain during 13 days. The diagnosis of superior mesenteric venous thrombosis was confirmed by CT angiography, and the patient was operated on the third day of a well-conducted medical treatment with intravenous heparinotherapy, in the presence of localized peritonitis. The laparotomy revealed an ischemic ileal portion treated by segmental resection and terminoterminal anastomosis without complication.
