Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic and progressive conditions that can increase the risk of thromboembolism, including that of portal vein thrombosis (PVT). Overall, PVT is a serious complication with a significant associated mortality. PVTs are exclusively described in cases with confirmed IBD diagnosis. This report highlights a case of PVT as an initial manifestation of Crohn's disease.Entities:
