title: Portal vein thrombosis in Crohn's disease.
abstract: Thromboembolic complications of inflammatory bowel disease are a well-recognized occurrence. Portal vein thrombosis has been reported in patients with ulcerative colitis but to date has not been reported in patients with Crohn's disease. We present the first case of portal vein thrombosis in a patient with Crohn's disease.
