DEFICIENT PROTEIN C AND PROTEIN S INDUCED ACUTE VENOUS MESENTERIC ISCHEMIA: A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 37
Abstract
BACKGROUND A 35 year old lady presented with unresolved severe abdominal pain and vomiting. She was diagnosed to have superior mesenteric vein thrombosis with gangrenous small bowel and multiple splenic infarcts secondary to Protein C and Protein S deficiency. She underwent emergency explorative laparotomy and extensive small bowel resection and anastomosis and splenectomy. This is to stress the importance of keeping mesenteric ischemia as an important differential diagnosis in cases of acute abdomen.
