title: Phosphofructokinase deficiency and portal and mesenteric vein thrombosis.
abstract: Phosphofructokinase deficiency is a rare disorder with less than 100 reported cases; the contribution of altered glucose metabolism in other tissues to the pathogenesis of the disease is not fully understood. The authors present a unique case of portal and mesenteric vein thrombosis in a 43-year-old man with a known case of phosphofructokinase deficiency.
