Inferior mesenteric vein thrombophlebitis is an uncommon condition. Most cases of portal-mesenteric thrombophlebitis affect either the portal vein or superior mesenteric vein; it is not known why the inferior mesenteric vein is less affected. Thrombophlebitis typically occurs following inflammatory intra-abdominal processes, such as diverticulitis. Diverticulitis is a common condition in the Western world, with several common complications, such as fistula formation and bowel wall perforation. However, although diverticulitis is a common cause of portal-mesenteric thrombophlebitis, thrombophlebitis is still a rare complication of diverticulitis. We present a case of diverticulitis complicated with interior mesenteric vein thrombophlebitis with gas extension into the portal vein.
肠系膜下静脉血栓性静脉炎是一种罕见病症。大多数门静脉 - 肠系膜血栓性静脉炎病例累及门静脉或肠系膜上静脉；尚不清楚为何肠系膜下静脉较少受累。血栓性静脉炎通常发生在腹腔内炎症过程之后，如憩室炎。憩室炎在西方世界是一种常见病症，有多种常见并发症，如瘘管形成和肠壁穿孔。然而，尽管憩室炎是门静脉 - 肠系膜血栓性静脉炎的常见病因，但血栓性静脉炎仍是憩室炎的一种罕见并发症。我们报告一例憩室炎合并肠系膜下静脉血栓性静脉炎且气体扩展至门静脉的病例。
