ABSTRACT
We report a patient with high small intestinal obstruction due to ischemic stricture, secondary to acute mesenteric venous thrombosis. Tests done for hypercoagulability revealed dual etiology (protein C deficiency and factor V Leiden gene mutation). The patient underwent surgical resection and has been on anticoagulation treatment. At 2 years' follow up, she remains asymptomatic.
