Abstract | BACKGROUND: CASE REPORT: We present here the case of a middle-age woman with idiopathic eosinophilia and acute portal vein thrombosis with massive venous thrombosis, involving the mesenteric, splenic, inferior cava, iliac and femoral veins, successfully treated with systemic streptokinase. CONCLUSIONS: Acute portal vein thrombosis with associated mesenteric and splenic vein thrombosis is a potentially lethal coagulation disorder that can be treated successfully with systemic streptokinase.
