Superior mesenteric venous thrombosis (SMVT) is a rare condition that carries high mortality. Very few cases have been reported of SMVT, complicating acute appendicitis. Early recognition requires a high index of suspicion and is crucial in successful treatment of such a life-threatening condition.
A 33-year-old male presents with a 4-day history of right lower abdominal pain, nausea and subjective fever. CT scan showed acute appendicitis and a central filling defect in the superior mesenteric vein.
Acute appendicitis complicated by SMVT.
Intravenous antibiotics, appendectomy, and anticoagulation.
Repeat CT scan showed successful resolution of the SMVT at a 3-month follow up.
Clinical awareness and high index of suspicion are essential to diagnose and manage SMVT, a serious complication of acute appendicitis.
肠系膜上静脉血栓形成(SMVT)是一种罕见疾病,死亡率很高。很少有SMVT并发急性阑尾炎的病例报道。早期识别需要高度的怀疑指数,对于成功治疗这种危及生命的疾病至关重要。
一名33岁男性,有4天右下腹痛、恶心和主观发热病史。CT扫描显示急性阑尾炎和肠系膜上静脉中央充盈缺损。
急性阑尾炎并发SMVT。
静脉注射抗生素、阑尾切除术和抗凝治疗。
重复CT扫描显示,在3个月的随访中,SMVT成功消退。
临床意识和高度的怀疑指数对于诊断和管理SMVT(急性阑尾炎的一种严重并发症)至关重要。
