Abstract
Although mesenteric venous thrombosis is an uncommon diagnosis, it was first described in the late fifteenth century. During the mid-nineteenth century, further interest in the pathophysiology and treatment of mesenteric venous thrombosis began to emerge. In 1895, the first documented successful resection and re-anastomosis of the mesenteric vasculature was completed on a patient presenting with gangrenous bowel. Outcomes of this condition vary based upon the acuity and severity of the clinical presentation, and may include bowel necrosis, peritonitis, sepsis, and death.
