Abstract
- Mesenteric venous thrombosis is rare but can cause ischemia or infarction of small bowel. Mesenteric venous thrombosis is classified as either primary or secondary. Despite considerable advances in medical diagnosis and treatment, the diagnosis is often delayed and prognosis is still poor. We report three cases of mesenteric venous thrombosis treated by different modalities each other. The first case was superior mesenteric venous thrombosis secondary to acute acalculous cholecystitis and treated with anticoagulation. The second case was primary mesenteric venous thrombosis and treated by anticoagulation combined with percutaneous transhepatic thrombolysis. The third case was also primary mesenteric venous thrombosis, but, needed surgery with anticoagulation.
