Patients are often older than 60 years and can present with postprandial abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, and significant weight loss. Symptomatic disease has traditionally been managed

METHODS
A 54-year-old man who had had postprandial pain for 6 months was admitted to our hospital because of vomiting and diarrhea. Although the
Mesenteric venous thrombosis is an insidious disease, with a high mortality rate typically attributed to the long delay in diagnosis. Rapid diagnosis and treatment are important. Here, we present a patient with idiopathic inferior mesenteric venous (IMV) thrombosis. A 65-year-old man presented with
Behçet's disease may be a possible cause of both occlusive and aneurysmal arterial involvement as well as recurrent venous thrombosis. A case of Behçet's disease complicated with vascular involvement leading to intestinal infarction is presented. A 41-yr-old man suffering from Behçet's disease for
Introduction: Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) refers to the sudden onset of intestinal hypoperfusion that can also result from splanchnic venous occlusion. The portomesenteric venous system (PMVS) is an unusual site of thrombosis in
