 Mesenteric venous thrombosis (MVT) is an infrequent thrombotic event that can cause devastating intestinal hemorrhagic ischemia and intestinal infraction. According to some authors, various thrombophilias are important in the etiology of this complication. Other researchers associate idiopathic mesenteric venous thrombosis with pregnancy. Mesenteric vein thrombosis during pregnancy is very difficult to diagnose due to its non-specific clinical symptoms. The mortality rate among patients with acute MVT ranges from 20 to 50%. We present a case of acute intestinal infarction in a pregnant woman associated with mesenteric vein thrombosis, which resulted in death.

Key words: аcute abdomen, intestinal ischemia, mesenteric venous thrombosis, pregnancy, maternal mortality.
