| Abstrakt: | Inferior mesenteric vein thrombosis (IMVT) is a rare entity that can lead to a potentially lethal event unless recognized early in the disease. Although its prevalence is low, IMVT presents mainly in certain conditions such as in inflammatory processes like diverticulitis, arrhythmias, hypercoagulable states, connective tissue disorders, malignancy, or hereditary thrombophilias. Mesenteric venous thrombophlebitis is a condition in which a blood clot in a vein causes inflammation and pain. It can appear in an acute or subacute manner that leads to acute mesenteric ischemia. The case of a 58-year-old male without a significant past medical history who presented with suprapubic abdominal pain secondary to a partial IMVT of unknown etiology with accompanying thrombophlebitis is discussed here.
