Notably, instead of the superior mesenteric vein, our case had a novel combination of portal vein thrombosis and Inferior mesenteric vein thrombosis.This patient might have an underlying, undetected thrombophilia because of the presence of both inferior mesenteric vein(IMV) and portal vein thrombosis.60-75% of mesenteric venous thrombosis cases are thought to be caused by hypercoagulable conditions brought on by heparin use, thrombocytopenia, myeloproliferative disease, and cancer, according to recent research.The usual conditions that are linked to the combination of inferior mesenteric vein and portal vein thrombosis are pancreatitis, diverticulitis, myeloproliferative neoplasms, and malignancies, none of which our patient had.
