Symptomatic Thrombosis of Superior Mesenteric Vein Due to Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
A 24-year-old man, with history of type I diabetes mellitus, presented with a 3-day persistent abdominal pain despite control of his DKA contrary to his 1-year similar attacks. CT-scan with contrast revealed partial thrombosis of superior mesenteric vein (SMV). Following systemic anticoagulation, the abdominal pain disappeared. There was no evidence of hereditary thrombophilia or underlying autoimmune disease. Hence, patients with DKA and abdominal pains should be screened for SMV thrombosis.
