This is a case report of acute superior mesenteric vein (SMV) thrombosis in a 24-year-old male with history of underlying psychiatric symptoms who had no traditional risk factors. The patient presented with abdominal pain, fever, and constipation. The patient's worsening symptoms led to an eventual diagnosis via computed tomography (CT) imaging. Management included anticoagulation therapy and multidisciplinary care. This case highlights the importance of considering SMV thrombosis in young adults and suggests a potential link between psychiatric conditions and thrombotic events, as evidenced by this patient's psychiatric history.
这是一例24岁男性急性肠系膜上静脉（SMV）血栓形成的病例报告，该患者有潜在精神症状病史且无传统危险因素。患者出现腹痛、发热和便秘。患者症状的加重最终通过计算机断层扫描（CT）成像得以诊断。治疗包括抗凝治疗和多学科护理。该病例强调了在年轻成年人中考虑SMV血栓形成的重要性，并提示精神疾病与血栓形成事件之间可能存在联系，该患者的精神病史即为明证。
