Acute mesenteric venous thrombosis is a rare and potentially fatal disease, which often occurs in medically compromised elderly patients. Isolated mesenteric venous thrombosis may be encountered in young women who have underlying hypercoagulable disease. We report a case of mesenteric venous thrombosis in a young pregnant woman in whom protein S deficiency was diagnosed at a later stage. The patient underwent extensive bowel resection. On follow-up she had developed an obstruction on the intestinal anastomosis. The anastomosis was revised, but the patient died of intervening complications 3 months after the operation. Early management of acute mesenteric venous thrombosis relies on early diagnosis, which requires a high index of suspicion. The condition must be considered during evaluation of persistent abdominal pain in pregnant women with hypercoagulable disorder.
