    Abstract:
    A case is presented of mesenteric venous thrombosis which affects about 30 cm of small intestine in a patient operated one month before for portal hypertension and bleeding from esophagogastric varices, in which an interruption of the portal-azygous venous circulation was made with splenectomy, using the Romero-Torres procedure. We consider that postsplenectomy thrombocytosis has been the first pathogenic factor in the mesenteric venous thrombosis.
