Mesenteric Ischemia due to Thrombosis Involving the Aorta, Celiac Artery, and Superior Mesenteric Artery in a Young Female with Protein C Deficiency.

An arterial thrombus affecting the descending aorta, celiac artery, and superior mesenteric artery at the same time, resulting in mesenteric ischemia and splenic infarction, is a very rare phenomenon. We report a case of a 35-year-old, unmarried female, gravida 0 para 0, who presented with abdominal pain, vomiting, and constipation for two days. Computed tomography (CT) scan showed thrombi in the descending aorta to the celiac axis and superior mesenteric artery with splenic infarction, bowel ischemia, hepatic portal venous air, and uterine fibroid. The diagnosis of arterial thrombotic mesenteric ischemia was made. An exploratory laparotomy was performed. Gangrenous intestine resection was done with ileojejunostomy and feeding ileostomy.
