Portal and mesenteric venous thrombosis (PVT) is an uncommon disease with serious consequences if not discovered early in order to prevent complications such as variceal bleeding and intestinal ischaemia. The objective of this study was to describe the clinical presentation and outcome of patients with PVT with a view to early diagnosis and treatment of this disease. The study was restricted to patients with PVT not caused by underlying liver cirrhosis.
