Mesenteric ischemia and portal hypertension caused by splenic arteriovenous fistula. Indian Journal of Gastroenterology. 2004 Sep-Oct; 23(5): 184-5http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/65019Splenic arteriovenous fistula is rare and usually presents with features of established portal hypertension (PHT). Presentation as acute mesenteric ischemia with features of acute PHT is uncommon. We report a 35-year-old lady who presented with severe abdominal pain, diarrhea and ascites, which was found to result from mesenteric ischemia and acute PHT secondary to splenic arteriovenous fistula. She underwent resection of fistula, which resulted in complete symptom relief.engAbdomen, Acute --diagnosisAdultArteriovenous Fistula --complicationsFemaleFollow-Up StudiesHumansHypertension, Portal --complicationsIschemia --complicationsMesentery --blood supplyRisk AssessmentSplanchnic Circulation --physiologySplenic Artery --abnormalitiesSplenic Vein --abnormalitiesTreatment OutcomeVascular Surgical Procedures --methodsCase Reports
