Description
Summary:We describe a patient with left branch portal vein thrombosis involving two thrombophilic alterations, the pro thrombin G20210A mutation and protein C deficiency. In spite of not being under anticoagulant treatment, the thrombus in the portal vein underwent complete and spontaneous lysis. No other risk factors were detected and no family history related to thrombosis was found.
