Abstract
|
|
|
Mesenteric venous thrombosis is a rare disease accounting for 5-15%. MVT is generally difficult to diagnose and can be fatal because of delayed diagnosis and treatment.
A case of extensive thrombosis of the mesenteric vein was diagnosed early and successfully treated in a 70-year-old female who was admitted to hospital because of bloody diarrhea and abdominal pain. Computed tomography(CT) showed remarkable thickening of the bowel walls and extensive thrombosis of superior mesenteric vein. Because intestinal infarction and peritonitis was seen, emergency operation was done and catheter-directed thrombectomy through mesenteric vein was successfully performed. She discharged without any complications.
