[An unusual case of small intestine infarction of venous origin].
The evolution is presented, of a partial infarction of the small bowel, of venous origin, without apparent cause. In the 10-th day after onset, following a segmentary resection of the jejunum and termino-terminal anastomosis, the patient had another segmentar infarction of the ileon, also of venous origin, that was cured after resection. After recovery the hematological investigations evidenced a coagulation disturbance that necessitated longterm heparin therapy, a treatment that is continued 3 years after surgery. Although the repeated infarction of the small bowel of venous origin is theoretically possible the case presented appears to be unique by its evolution and the result of the medico-surgical treatment.
