Introduction. Portomesenteric thrombosis is increasingly recognized as a complication of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). It often presents with abdominal pain. We present a mother and her son who both developed portal vein thrombosis (PVT) after LSG.Case Description. A 43-year-old woman presented complaining of sudden severe abdominal pain, two weeks after she had uncomplicated laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis with IV contrast showed portal vein thrombosis and SMV thrombosis. Two weeks later her son had the same LSG for morbid obesity and presented with the same clinical picture. Thrombophilia workup showed heterozygous prothrombin gene mutation.Conclusions. A high index of suspicion is necessary to diagnose PVT; although rare, it can be potentially lethal. Anticoagulation therapy should be initiated immediately to limit the morbidities and improve the outcome. Patients with family history of thrombophilia should be investigated prior to any bariatric surgery and nonsurgical alternative treatments for morbid obesity should be strongly encouraged.

Abstract Background Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) occurs rarely in the general population and is frequently associated with confused clinical findings and delayed diagnosis. Isolated cerebellar cortical vein thrombosis is a very rare phenomenon. Case presentation This report describes a case with CVT, which is manifested as space-occupying lesions of the cerebellar hemisphere and mimics a cerebellar tumor at the beginning. The diagnosis of CVT was finalized given the laboratory and brain biopsy findings. The etiology may be related to polycythemia vera with Janus Kinase 2 V617F mutation. Conclusion Isolated cerebellar vein thrombosis should be considered when swelling and enhancing cerebellar lesions are detected. Polycythemia vera, especially with a positive JAK2 V617F mutation, may be a rare risk factor for CVT.
