Portal vein thrombosis associated to prothrombin G20210A mutation and protein C deficiency.
We describe a patient with left branch portal vein thrombosis involving two thrombophilic alterations, the prothrombin G20210A mutation and protein C deficiency. In spite of not being under anticoagulant treatment, the thrombus in the portal vein underwent complete and spontaneous lysis. No other risk factors were detected and no family history related to thrombosis was found.
