BACKGROUND
Venous thromboembolism is a life-threatening disease. In survivors, different degrees of functional complaints need to be restored or prevented (eg, post-thrombotic syndrome, pulmonary hypertension). Therefore, rehabilitation after venous thromboembolism is recommended in Germany.
Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a set of chronic inflammatory diseases associated with significant morbidity. Generally, IBD patients have twice the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) compared to healthy controls. VTE
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.
UNASSIGNED
A 46-year-old male airline pilot presented with a 2 week history of abdominal pain, nausea,
We report on the course of disease in a young woman, originally admitted with suspected refractory infectious tropical traveler's diarrhea. However, symptoms did not resolve upon either symptomatic or subsequent antibiotic therapy. When neurologic deterioration was observed, imaging studies revealed
A 38-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department with vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain since four days. She used anticoagulant drugs because of venous thromboembolism. Echography of the abdomen revealed a subcapsular hematoma of the liver. The patient recovered after
A 29-year-old man with diarrhea and abdominal pain for 2 weeks presented with new-onset left back pain. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed a left inferior vena cava (IVC) crossing over the aorta, and thrombus in the IVC and left renal vein. Colonoscopy and biopsy for assessment of
BACKGROUND
Acute portomesenteric vein thrombosis is an uncommon but serious condition with potential sequelae, such as small-bowel gangrene and end-stage hepatic failure. It is known to be caused by various pro-thrombotic states, including hyperhomocysteinemia. We describe what is, to the best of
We report a case of 27 year old female patient who was admitted to the hospital with an acute flare up of ulcerative colitis. The patient presented with complaints of persistent abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea despite aggressive therapy for her ulcerative colitis. A CT scan of the abdomen on
We present the case of a patient whose clinical signs were abdominal pain, diarrhea and fever, in which the diagnosis of eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EEG) was established and during whose evolution he underwent a pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). We comment the characteristics of the EEG, a rare
OBJECTIVE
Patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer have limited therapeutic options. The role of the Ras-Raf-MAPK pathway and of vascular endothelial growth factor in pancreatic carcinogenesis provided the rational to evaluate the efficacy of sorafenib with or without gemcitabine in a randomized
Ulcerative colitis has hypercoagulable state and high risk of thrombosis; so mucosal disturbance of microcirculation may be mediate and amplify the inflammation of ulcerative colitis. A 56-year-old female patient was admitted in hospital for discontinuously mucous bloody stool for more than 1 year.
Acute organophosphate (OP) poisonings are presented with acetylcholine-receptor overstimulation. There have been a few case reports of thrombotic complications in acute OP poisonings, as well as prolonged thrombosis preconditions in patients who survived this type of intoxications. The Thromboembolic complications in Crohn's disease are not rare. Most of them are disseminated vascular thrombosis or pulmonary emboli. Cerebral artery thrombosis is a rare complication of Crohn's disease. We describe a 27-year-old woman who had Crohn's disease for 8 years, with exacerbation 3 months
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) represents a new public health problem, with a total of 10.577.263 documented COVID-19 cases worldwide and 513.441 deaths up to the present date. Few cases of disease-related cutaneous manifestations have been reported in the
Cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT) in children has rarely been reported in the literature, especially without underlying disorder. It has increasingly been diagnosed due to clinical awareness and sensitive neuroimaging techniques. The aim of this article was to report a case of cerebral
