VELEZ-LEAL, Juan Luis  e  LOPEZ-VELEZ, Leidy Carlina. Isolated porto-mesenteric thrombosis secondary to blunt abdominal trauma. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.35, n.4, pp.675-681.  Epub 15-Fev-2021. ISSN 2011-7582.  https://doi.org/10.30944/2011758.497.

This article reviews the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic and therapeutic approach of the portal and mesenteric venous system thrombosis, with a clinical case discussion considering the relevant literature. This complication is usually related to systemic and hepatic conditions, but rarely occurs isolated and related to trauma. In the absence of adequate treatment during the acute stage, thrombosis can progress to intestinal infarction and death. In chronic cases, it has been associated with degeneration of the portal venous system into changes due to chronic portal hypertension.
