INTRODUCTION: Protein S deficiency resulting in mesenteric vein thrombosis has been reported in previous studies however those causing SMA thrombosis has been rarely reported. Multidisciplinary approach involving general surgeon, a vascular surgeon, an interventional radiologist, and an intensivist are crucial for management of SMA thrombosis.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 39-year-old non-smoker hypertensive female who was diagnosed with partially occlusive thrombus in the superior mesenteric artery via Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) re-presented after 5 days and CECT revealed a partially occlusive thrombus in the superior mesenteric artery and Protein S deficiency (free protein S:15 %). She was managed by lysis of thrombus with streptokinase by interventional radiology team. The patient is on anticoagulants and without abdominal complaints on follow-up at 24 months.
DISCUSSION: Computed tomography angiography should be done immediately in any patient suspected of AMI since delay in diagnosis accounts for high mortality rates of 30-70 %. The surgical treatment of the condition is well established and consists of revascularization and/or resection of nonviable bowel. Endovascular techniques have emerged as an alternative for occlusion of the SMA. Patients with protein C and/or S deficiency treated for AMI require lifelong anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapy to prevent relapse.
CONCLUSION: Hereditary thrombophilia should be suspected in young people with unusual thrombotic presentations. Earlier diagnosis and aggressive antithrombotic therapy in individuals with hypercoagulable states can improve outcomes. Treatment involving a multidisciplinary approach improves outcomes.
