What is splenic vein thrombosis?
Splenic vein thrombosis is a blood clot that is obstructing the splenic vein, which is located on the surface of the spleen. The increased pressure in the splenic vein causes the spleen to enlarge, and other veins to dilate and twist in the esophagus and stomach; internal bleeding may occur.
