Mesenteric vein thrombosis in a pregnant patient heterozygous for the factor V (1691 G → A) Leiden mutation

Abstract Factor V Leiden mutation is a risk factor for the development of thromboembolic events in pregnancy. Thrombosis of the mesenteric vein is a fairly infrequent condition complicating pregnancy. In this paper, we described a pregnant patient with mesenteric vein thrombosis who was heterozygous for the factor V Leiden mutation.
