Abstract:
Superior mesenteric vein (SMV) thrombosis is a relatively rare disease.Most patients may be successfully treated with anti-coagulation alone.However,bowel stricture may develop due to intestinal ischemia which may require surgical treatment.This report describes a rare case of small bowel stricture occurring one month after successful treatment of SMV thrombosis.After segmental resection of strictured bowel,the patient's post-operative course was uneventful.
