Abstract:
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.
Insights
Acute mesenteric venous thrombosis, a serious condition, can cause severe abdominal pain. This case highlights successful surgical intervention and heparin therapy for superior mesenteric venous thrombosis, leading to a favorable outcome.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Vascular Surgery
