A four-year-old, male cocker spaniel was presented for vomiting and anorexia of two days' duration. An elongated abdominal mass was palpated, and abdominal pain was noted. On exploratory laparotomy, a jejunal segment was found to be infarcted transmurally. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of mesenteric vein thrombosis. The dog recovered uneventfully following resection of the affected bowel.

Uterine fibroids are the most common benign pelvic tumors in women. There are many complications reported with fibroids. However, mesenteric vein thrombosis and small bowel gangrene caused by a uterine fibroid are rare. This manuscript reports a rare case of 40 year female with a large uterine fibroid associated with mesenteric vein thrombosis and bowel ischemia. She underwent exploratory laparotomy in which resection of gangrenous bowel including jejunum and ileum was done along with left sided jejunostomy and right sided ileostomy. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingooophorectomy was done followed by jejunoileal anastomosis 6 weeks later. Hence, in patients presenting with acute abdomen and uterine fibroids, bowel gangrene must be included in the differential diagnosis.

Pylephlebitis is a condition in which there is septic thrombophlebitis of the portal-mesenteric venous system. It is a rare condition that usually arises as a complication of an intra-abdominal infection or inflammation. Being rare, it may be overlooked as a differential in cases of abdominal pain when the more common causes have been excluded. We present a case of a 37-year-old Hispanic male who presented with acute abdominal pain and loose stools. He was initially treated for acute gastroenteritis but his clinical condition deteriorated. He was eventually diagnosed with pylephlebitis with associated inferior mesenteric vein thrombosis. He was successfully treated with IV antibiotics and warfarin. Pylephlebitis should not be overlooked as a differential in an appropriate clinic setting as it has a high mortality rate.

Patients At Risk

Superior mesenteric vein thrombosis (SMVT) is a rare yet frequently fatal cause of intestinal ischemia. Despite its severe consequences, SMVT often presents with nonspecific symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. It can occur with or without gastrointestinal bleeding, and symptoms may be present for hours to weeks. Physical exam can vary from a benign to an acute abdomen. The are no specific diagnostic laboratory studies for the presence of MVT, and it can be an incidental finding of computed tomography or ultrasound. Patients at risk for MVT include those with a history of a hypercoagulable state or secondary cases such as sepsis, gastrointestinal malignancy, liver disease, pancreatic pathology, abdominal surgery and medications. The authors present a case of a patient presenting with acute abdominal pain and ultimately a SMVT secondary to oral contraceptives by exclusion.

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).
