A congenital Antithrombin III (AT III) deficiency affecting 7 members of 3 families is reported.The first throrabo-embolic accidents were observed between the age of 22 and 35 : they were spontaneous or occured after delivery or oral contraception. in one patient, a deep vein thrombosis was observed during heparin treatment. in 2 cases, recurrent pulmonary embolic episodes required vena cava ligation. No thromboembolic accident was observed during oral anticoagulation.AT III was measured by an amidolytic method and by the Mancini method on plasma and serum ; the antithrombin activity was determined on serum by the von Kaulla method. in 7 patients, a decreased AT III was found by all the methods performed. The AT III level was around 50 % in patients treated or not by oral anticoagulants One patient was studied during heparin treatment and then under oral anticoagulants : AT III levels were lower under heparin.

Acute abdominal pain during pregnancy is challenging, both from a diagnostic and management perspective. A non-localized, persistent pain out of proportion to physical examination is a sign that advanced imaging may be necessary. Mesenteric venous thrombosis in a pregnant patient is extremely rare, but if diagnosis is delayed, can be potentially fatal to both the mother and the fetus. We present here a pregnant patient in the tenth week of gestation with classic clinical manifestations of mesenteric vein thrombosis and the corresponding findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT).
