Figure 1 Abdominal computed tomography demonstrates an acute mesenteric venous thrombosis at the time of initial presentation.
A: A thrombus (arrow) and perivenous infiltration at the proximal superior mesenteric vein; B: extension into the portal vein; C: An abnormal fluid collection around the liver and spleen; D: The affected small bowel (arrow head) with long-segment wall thickening and decreased enhancement.
Figure 2 Abdominal computed tomography at second admission.
A: Dilated proximal jejunal loop (arrow heads) and resolution of thrombus in the main portal vein (arrow); B: Remnant thrombus in superior mesenteric vein (arrow).
Figure 3 Intraoperative findings: sequelae of the mesenteric venous thrombosis.
A dilated proximal jejunum (arrow) and short-segment stricture (arrow head) are noted.
