title: [Mesenteric venous thrombosis (MVT) in the puerperium. A report of 2 cases].
abstract: Two cases of mesenteric venous thrombosis (MVT) during puerperium are reported and the medical literature about this condition is reviewed. In none of the 65 articles reviewed was an association of these conditions reported. We believe that there are certain hematologic and hormonal conditions in puerperium that may explain this association. The current clinical presentation, diagnostic modalities and management are presented, and we think that it should be suspected in a patient in puerperium with symptoms of acute abdomen.
