ABSTRACT
La trombosis venosa mesentérica corresponde a un factor obstructivo del sistema venoso intestinal intraluminal, trayendo consecuencias clínicas dadas por isquemia intestinal y aumento de la circulación colateral debido a una dificultad del drenaje sanguíneo. Raramente, esto podría generar várices ectópicas, pero esta descrito en la literatura la existencia de várices duodenales producto de este mecanismo. En este articulo se presenta un reporte de un caso, que presenta un sangrado variceal de origen duodenal secundaria a una trombosis venosa portal y mesentérica, sin causa aparente.
Mesenteric vein thrombosis is an intraluminal obstruction of the intestinal venous system with clinical consequences due to intestinal ischemia and an increase in collateral circulation caused by compromised venous return. It very rarely generates ectopic varicose veins but duodenal varicose veins caused by this mechanism have been described in the literature. In this article we report the case of duodenal variceal bleeding secondary to a portal and mesenteric venous thrombosis with no apparent cause.
ABSTRACT
The article reports a clinical case of a 39-year-old male patient who was admitted in the emergency room in shock. The clinical exams and additional tests identified a right massive hemothorax, without apparent etiological factors. He was submitted to an emergency right thoracotomy. A bulky varicose formation in the diaphragmatic surface, with evident laceration and haemorrhage was identified. The article describes this case due to its rarity. The varicose formation was simply ligated and the evolution, as well as the outcome of this clinical case was uneventful.
