Intestinal occlusion due to polycythemia vera in an old woman
Keywords:
old woman, mesenteric ischemia, polycythemia vera, thrombosis, intestinal obstruction.Abstract
The case report of a 67 years patient with several comorbidities is described, among them polycythemia vera, who went to the emergency room of Ambrosio Grillo Portuondo University Clinical Surgical Hospital in Santiago de Cuba due to symptoms and signs of a syndrome of occlusive acute abdomen. An emergency surgical intervention was indicated, that confirmed the presumptive diagnosis of mesenteric vascular thrombosis. The immediacy of the surgical treatment, the reversibility of the vascular damage without necessity of intestinal resection procedure and the effective use of anticoagulants allowed a favorable clinical course without complications.
