Maryam Sardar: Timely Anticoagulation in SMV Thrombosis Complicating Acute Pancreatitis

Maryam Sardar, USMLE Preparation and Clinical Observership Aspirant at ECFMG Pathway, shared on LinkedIn about a recent article she and her colleagues co-authored, published in Cureus, adding:

”Excited to share our latest published case report in Cureus Journal of Medical Science!

‘Superior Mesenteric Vein Thrombosis Complicating Acute Alcohol-Induced Pancreatitis’

We present a rare vascular complication of acute pancreatitis — a 36-year-old woman with alcohol-induced pancreatitis who developed non-occlusive superior mesenteric vein (SMV) thrombosis extending toward the portal vein.

Key takeaways:

  • SMV thrombosis is a serious but underrecognized complication of acute pancreatitis
  • Contrast-enhanced CT plus MRI were essential for diagnosis
  • Timely anticoagulation (heparin to DOAC) led to full clinical recovery
  • Early recognition is critical to prevent bowel ischemia

This case reinforces the importance of vigilance for splanchnic vein thrombosis in pancreatitis patients, even when the index of suspicion may be low.

Proud to have coauthored this with a great team.”
