We report a patient with combined thrombophilia--protein C deficiency and mild hyperhomocysteinemia with total spontaneous thrombosis of a basilar tip aneurysm after subarachnoid hemorrhage, without neurological deficit. At admission, the patient had headache, drowsiness, and nausea, with no
Enoxaparin (enoxaparin sodium) is a low-molecular-weight heparin that binds to and increases the activity of antithrombin III. The resulting complex inhibits prothrombinase-mediated thrombin generation and direct thrombin generation by binding to factor Xa and thrombin factor IIa. Enoxaparin, used
BACKGROUND
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious complication in patients with lung cancer. The benefit of chemotherapy for lung cancer patients with VTE remains unknown. This study was conducted to elucidate the efficacy and safety of chemotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
BACKGROUND
Herein, we present a case of seemingly unprovoked portal vein thrombosis (PVT) occurring in the context of an acute cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and prolonged debilitating fatigue.

A 46-year-old male airline pilot presented with a 2 week history of abdominal pain, nausea,
Rivaroxaban (Xarelto®), an oral oxazolidinone-based anticoagulant, is a potent, selective, direct inhibitor of factor Xa that is used in the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in adult patients after total hip replacement (THR) or total knee replacement (TKR) surgery. In large, clinical
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have proven efficacy and safety and are approved for use in the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic events in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) and those with atrial fibrillation (AF). There is no clear guidance on the use of DOACs in the
Protein S (PS), a vitamin K-dependent glycoprotein, performs an important role in the anticoagulation cascade as a cofactor of protein C. Because of the presence of a pseudogene and two different forms of PS in the plasma, protein S deficiency (PSD) is one of the most difficult thrombophilias to
Cerebral venous thrombosis, also known as cortical venous, cerebral sinus, cerebral venous sinus, or dural sinus thrombosis, results from clot formation in one of the many outflow tracts of the brain. Obstruction of flow causes venous hypertension, which is responsible for clinical findings
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is ovarian enlargement secondary to hormones overstimulating ovarian growth. It can be associated with a spectrum of other clinical findings, including ascites, hemoconcentration, hypercoagulability, and electrolyte imbalances. OHSS most commonly occurs as a
BACKGROUND
Abdominal pain is a common primary care complaint. Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a rare cause of abdominal pain, typically associated with cirrhosis or thrombophilia. The following describes the presentation of PVT in a young male, the search for risk factors and underlying etiology,
BACKGROUND Follicular B cell lymphomas account for a significant portion of all newly diagnosed non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. While involvement can be varied, the most common extranodal presentation is within the gastrointestinal tract beyond the stomach. In addition, the stomach has a diffuse
Multiple myeloma is a hematological malignancy that classically results in an abnormal clonal proliferation of plasma cells in the bone marrow. Extramedullary disease in the setting of multiple myeloma, referred to as secondary extramedullary plasmacytoma, is found in 7-17% of cases of Background: Perimesencephalic non-aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (PNSH) is characterized by a typical pattern of localized pretruncal hemorrhage on head computed tomography (CT). PNSH is usually associated with a benign clinical
BACKGROUND
It is established that combined oral contraceptive (COC) treatment increases the risk of a pulmonary embolism (PE), but specific risk factors for a fatal outcome from a PE remain to be determined. This study aimed to identify such risk factors, and to calculate the reporting rates of
BACKGROUND
Mutation of protein S K196E (PS K196E) is a genetic risk factor for venous thromboembolism; however, there are few reports on cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) with this mutation. We report a case of CVT that was diagnosed as having PS K196E mutation at the initial thrombotic
