ABSTRACT
We describe a patient with protein C deficiency who presented with subacute intestinal obstruction due to ischaemic small bowel stricture. The patient also had left sided ileofemoral thrombosis. Venous thrombosis at unusual sites especially if associated with deep vein thrombosis of lower limb warrants a thorough screen for underlying thrombophilia. This, however, is a rare cause for ischaemic small bowel stricture.
