Superior mesenteric venous thrombosis

Abstract: Superior mesenteric venous occlusion may be difficult to recognize, but is important as it carries a better prognosis than superior mesenteric arterial occlusion, an may be amenable to surgical treatment. Three cases of primary superior mesenteric venous occlusion are described. The diagnosis was unsuspected until discovered at laparotomy. Non-viable bowel was present in all cases and in two cases thrombosed veins were apparent in the mesentery. The lesion was localized in distribution, and generous bowel rese… Show more

“…Warren et al 1 and Donaldson et al , 2 in 1935, were the first to recognise and report superior mesenteric vein thrombosis as a distinct clinical entity. It is a rare condition found most commonly in young adults, with a slight male preponderance, and it accounts for 0.01‐0.06% of all cases of intestinal infarction 5‐7 . Aetiological factors include portal hypertension, gastrointestinal sepsis, trauma, extrinsic venous compression, dehydration, vasoconstrictor agents and hypercoagulable states 8‐10 .…”

“…It may lead to the development of prehepatic portal hypertension and if there is associated mesenteric venous thrombosis the prognosis is poor and dependent on the degree and extent of bowel infarction (Carr & Jamison, 1981).…”
