BACKGROUND
Subacute superior mesenteric vein thrombosis is a rare ischemic intestinal disease which is often characterized by delayed diagnosis due to obscure clinical picture.
METHODS
A 67-year-old woman who presented chronic abdominal pain with mild nausea due to superior mesenteric vein thrombosis was submitted to video capsule endoscopy. We describe, for the first time, the video capsule endoscopy findings in this patient.
CONCLUSIONS
We emphasize the role of this new technology in the diagnosis of suspected ischemic intestinal diseases.
