Resumo: AIMS: To present two cases of thrombosis of the splanchnic veins, which is considered a possible fatal cause of intestinal ischemia, with the portal and superior mesenteric veins being the most affected. To discuss the etiological possibilities and emphasize the importance of using imaging exams for the definitive diagnosis. CASE DESCRIPTION: Two women with splanchnic venous thrombosis showed nonspecific clinical manifestations. In the first case, the main symptoms were abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, abdominal distension and nausea. In the second case, the patient presented with vague abdominal pain, anorexia and hypotension. In both cases the diagnosis was established by computed tomography. CONCLUSION: Considering the nonspecific clinical manifestations of splanchnic veins thrombosis, the imaging exams, especially the computed tomography, play a major role in its definitive diagnosis.

Discutir as possíveis etiologias e realçar a importância do uso de exames de imagem no diagnóstico dessa afecção. DESCRIÇÃO DOS CASOS: duas pacientes com trombose venosa esplâncnica apresentaram manifestações clínicas inespecíficas. No primeiro caso as principais manifestações foram dor abdominal, diarréia sanguinolenta, distensão abdominal e náuseas. No segundo caso, a paciente apresentava dor abdominal vaga, inapetência e hipotensão arterial. Nos dois casos o diagnóstico foi firmado por tomografia computadorizada. CONCLUSÕES: considerando as manifestações clínicas vagas da trombose de veias esplâncnicas, os exames de imagem, em especial a tomografia computadorizada, apresentam papel fundamental no seu diagnóstico.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2010-10-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionRelato de caso raro ou de especial interesseapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/scientiamedica/article/view/6557Scientia Medica; Vol. 20 No. 3 (2010); 232-235Scientia Medica; v. 20 n. 3 (2010); 232-2351980-61081806-5562reponame:Scientia Medica (Porto Alegre.
