Mesenteric Thrombosis Following Blunt Abdominal Thauma

Superior Mesenteric Vein Thrombosis as a complication following Jejunal lymphoma resection: A Case Report

“…In 1952, McCune [6] found that immediate infarction was associated with the presence of thrombi within the arcuate veins, vasa recta and intramural vessels, often without involvement of major venous trunks. Acute MVT begins either in the smaller peripheral vessels and extends proximally in patients with systemic thrombophilia, or in the larger splanchnic trunks and spreads distally in patients with local intra-abdominal causes of hypercoagulability.…”

Non-traumatic rupture of the superior mesenteric vein with hemoretroperitoneum

“…The SMV is mainly involved in alterations of the portal circulation. Moreover examples of thrombotic occlusions [1][2][3] and lacerations of this vessel resulting from penetrating and non-penetrating traumas [4][5][6][7][8][9] can be found in the literature. The majority of mesenteric lacerations have occurred in car or aircraft accidents and have been attributed to the lapstrap of seat belts [4,5] or to the rim of a steering wheel [10,11].…”

“…Pathological conditions of the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) are relatively rare and are mainly represented by Offprint requests to: R. DeCaro thrombosis [1][2][3] or traumatic rupture [4][5][6][7][8][9] sometimes of a homicidial nature [13]. A case of rupture of the SMV with hemoretroperitoneum in an old woman with acute pancreatitis and thrombosis of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is described.…”

Thromboembolic complications following trauma

“…Case reports are rare and no studies have reported an overall incidence in trauma. In 1952 McCune and colleagues 31 presented four cases of mesenteric thrombosis following blunt abdominal trauma which occurred from 1936 to 1950. Cole and colleagues 32 reported a case of mesenteric thrombosis in a patient with penetrating cardiac trauma.…”
