Abstract
Mesenteric venous thrombosis (MVT) is a rare but serious cause of acute abdominal pain, particularly in postpartum women. This case report discusses a 30-year-old female, 45 days postpartum, who presented with acute diffuse abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) imaging revealed a venous occlusive mesenteric infarct with nonviable bowel loops, necessitating surgical intervention. This case highlights the importance of early recognition and prompt management, including surgery, in cases where ischemic bowel injury has progressed to infarction.
