Abstract:
A 10-year retrospective review of mesenteric venous thrombosis was accomplished in one metropolitan city. This paper discusses 14 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of mesenteric venous thrombosis. This review also yielded an important realization of an inadequacy of the International Classification of Diseases, 9th edition in coding for mesenteric venous thrombosis. This paper discusses this difficulty in the International Classification of Diseases.
