Abstract

Chronic mesenteric venous thrombosis without involvement of the splenic or portal veins may lead to gastrointestinal hemorrhage from mesenteric varices. Three cases are presented in this report; 1 patient died secondary to blood loss and 2 patients have experienced a benign clinical course. The presentation, methods of diagnosis, and therapeutic options for this disorder are described.
