Abstract
- Portal pyelophlebitis is extremly rare in its incidence and associated with high mortality. It usually occurs secondary to infection in the region drained by the portal systems or in the structure contiguous to the portal vein. We report two cases of septic thrombophlebitis of the portal and superior mesenteric veins caused by acute appendicitis. Both the patients had good outcomes after medical and surgical treatment. An early diagnosis and treatment are vital for the good treatment results.
