ABSTRACT
Superior mesenteric vein [SMV] thrombosis is a condition of uncommon occurrence the diagnosis of which is challenging as the patient usually presents with nonspecific symptoms. Early diagnosis with computerized tomographic [CT] abdominal scan can prevent progression to mesenteric infarction. Herein, a case of SMV thrombosis secondary to gangrenous appendicitis is reported. Early intervention in the patient with full anticoagulation, helped to resolve the condition with no surgical intervention
