Mesenteric vein thrombosis: early CT and US diagnosis and conservative management. 1986

C Matos, and D Van Gansbeke, and M Zalcman, and J Ansay, and C Delcour, and L Engelholm, and J Struyven

We report a case of isolated superior mesenteric vein thrombosis with acute ischemic bowel disease, diagnosed early by a screening ultrasound scan of the upper abdomen and definitively assessed by computed tomography and angiography. This report stresses the contribution of cross-sectional techniques in the early diagnosis and management of venous occlusive disease of the small bowel.
