title: Idiopathic inferior mesenteric venous thrombosis demonstrated by angiography.
abstract: Idiopathic thrombosis of the inferior mesenteric vein, not associated with portal vein thrombosis, is an uncommonly diagnosed lesion. We are reporting a case of inferior mesenteric vein thrombosis diagnosed preoperatively by angiography. We believe this to be the first case in the literature of this particular lesion demonstrated conclusively by angiography before surgery.
