Abstract
Postoperative portal and splenic vein thrombosis (PSVT) is a rare but potentially fatal complication after abdominal surgery. We present 2 infants with PSVT after splenectomy and total colectomy, respectively, and also provide a review of the literature. We conclude that clinicians should consider that PSVT might occur after splenectomy for a huge splenomegaly or after a total colectomy for ulcerative colitis.Entities:
