Abstract

Extensive visceral vein thrombosis, including the femoral vein, iliac vein, superior mesenteric vein, splenic vein and portal vein, is an uncommon type of thrombosis that is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Making an early diagnosis and adequate management are very important. We present here the case of a 39-year-old woman with extensive visceral vein thrombosis and complicated small bowel necrosis and perforation. She had no known prothrombotic conditions, but the laboratory findings showed an elevated level of factor VIII. The patient’s condition improved without complication after resection of the infarcted and perforated small bowel along with immediate postoperative anticoagulant therapy. On the follow up, the size of the thrombosis was decreased and there was no complication.
