Abstract
- venous thrombosis. The entity is simply defined. If one considers all instances of thrombosis of the mesenteric veins and subtracts those cases in which the thrombosis has an obvious cause, such as pylephlebitis, portal venous stasis, hypercoagulable states, or trauma, those remaining form a group which is defined as having no known cause. This group has variously been called primary mesenteric venous thrombosis,7 agnogenic venous mesenteric thrombosis,' and mesenteric venous occlusion of undetermined origin.2 Since this disease is defined in an entirely negative manner, the question arises as to whether it is a distinct clinical and pathologic condition or simply an accident of classification. Naitove and Weismann 7 recently reported three cases of their own and reviewed 34 collected from the literature. They concluded that there are certain characteristics which many cases shared and that the disease thus could be classed
