[Mesenteric infarction secondary to antithrombin III deficiency].
AT III is a physiologic inhibitor of blood clot formation: its deficiency is manifested by venous thrombosis. The authors reported case of mesenteric venous infarction in a 42-years-old woman. AT III deficiency was transient and caused by an oral contraceptive. In patients with AT III acquired deficiency it is necessary to suppress any risk factors of venous thrombosis.
