RODRIGUEZ CANDIA, Erico et al. Portomesenteric axis thrombosis not associated with cirrhosis: A clinical case report. Cir. parag. [online]. 2025, vol.49, n.3, pp.19-21. ISSN 2307-0420.  https://doi.org/10.18004/sopaci.2025.diciembre.19.

Portomesenteric venous thrombosis accounts for 10% of cases of acute mesenteric ischemia. A 71-year-old patient presented with abdominal pain associated with fecal and gas retention. These symptoms are nonspecific and may occur in various abdominal conditions, which can hinder early diagnosis. Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography confirmed the diagnosis. The choice of endovascular treatment led to a successful recovery, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis to minimize morbidity and mortality. This case marks the first documented occurrence of portomesenteric venous thrombosis in Paraguay, with no identifiable cause.
