Farzad Rafiei: How a Snakebite Complication Evolves Into Portal Vein Thrombosis in Months

Farzad Rafiei, Research Assistant at Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences and Health Services, shared on LinkedIn about a recent article he and his colleagues co-authored, adding:

”I’m excited to share our recent case report: ‘Portal vein thrombosis as a clinical dilemma in Echis carinatus envenomation: a case report and review of the literature.’

Case highlight:

We report a 15-year-old male who, months after envenomation, developed:

  • Portal vein thrombosis
  • Portal hypertension
  • Splenomegaly
  • Secondary esophageal varices

What I found particularly interesting was seeing how a snakebite complication could evolve months later into portal vein thrombosis and esophageal varices.

This was truly remarkable and emphasizes the need for long-term follow-up.

Also, It was a pleasure working with Shahab Sheikhalishahi, an excellent collaborator.”
