Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare type of thrombophilia and hematopoietic stem cell disorder characterized by mutation of the X-linked PIG-A gene. Patients with PNH present either with clinical features of intravascular hemolysis or thrombosis. Visceral vein thrombosis is associated with increased mortality risk. Here, we present an extremely rare case of a young man presenting with extensive thrombosis of multiple visceral veins from PNH.
