Highlights the risk of mesenteric venous thrombosis in postpartum women taking low-dose oral contraceptives and the need for timely surgical intervention.
May prompt consideration of mesenteric venous thrombosis in postpartum oral contraceptive users; hypothesis-generating for timely intervention pending prospective data.

The confusing presentation of abdominal pain was the result of slowly progressive gangrene of the jejunum. Timely surgical intervention averted the potentially catastrophic outcome of this illness.
