A Case of Ulcerative Colitis Associated with Portal Vein and Superior Mesenteric Vein Terombosis
Abstract
- Thromboembolism is a infrequent extraintestinal complication of inflammatory bowel disease. Especially, portal vein and superier mesenteric vein thrombosis are rare complications of ulcerative colitis and its mortality is invariably fatal. The mechanism of thrombolic complications in inflammatory bowel disease remains enigmatic. Moreover, the clarification of the hypercoagulable state remains elusive. This report describes the case of 27-year-old-female with active ulcerative colitis. The patient revealed portal vein and superior mesenteric vein thrombosis with ascites detected by abdominal ultrasound exammation and computed tomography and successfully treated with combined anticoaulation therapy.
