Deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and pulmonary thrombosis in situ are rare in childhood and adolescence [1,2]. Unfortunately, these diagnoses may be unsuspected in a pediatric patient with dyspnea and chest pain. This article illustrates the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges that arose
OBJECTIVE
To study the clinical features and treatment outcomes of cardiovascular system involvement in children with methylmalonic aciduria combined with hyperhomocysteinemia (MMACHC).
METHODS
The clinical data of 10 children with methylmalonic aciduria combined with hyperhomocysteinemia and who
BACKGROUND
Moderate hyperhomocysteinemia is a causal risk factor for atherosclerosis and venous thromboembolism. Recent researches have tried to find out a causal relationship. However, only a small number of cases have been reported on hyperhomocysteinemia and cerebral venous thrombosis in the
A 45-year-old man was admitted complaining of chest pain and pain and edema in the left lower extremity. Ultrasonography and venography results yielded a diagnosis of left femoral vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism was diagnosed later. Intravenous heparin therapy (10,000 IU/day) improved the
BACKGROUND
Hyperhomocysteinemia is known to be a risk factor in both retinal artery and retinal vein occlusions. We report the case of a young patient with combined occlusion of the cilioretinal artery and the central retinal vein due to hyperhomocysteinemia.
METHODS
A 23-year-old patient without
To report a rare case of 8-year-old girl patient with central retinal venous occlusion (CRVO) with hyperhomocysteinemia.The patient had a 2-year history on painless visual loss in the left eye.All examination results were within A 34-year-old man of North African descent was referred to the emergency department because of malignant hypertension (220/113 mmHg), acute visual disturbances and acute kidney failure (serum creatinine 14.0 mg/dL). Blood analysis was compatible with thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). Kidney biopsy
Studies were carried out to identify the cause of combined severe hypermethioninemia and moderate hyperhomocysteinemia in a cluster of 10 infants ascertained between 1999 and early 2001. Although several were thought initially to have cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) deficiency and treated
High levels of homocysteine (Hcy) known as hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy), contribute to autophagy and ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R). Previous studies have shown that I/R injury and HHcy cause increased cerebrovascular permeability; however, the associated mechanism remains obscure. Interestingly,
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to assess the association of macular edema (ME) with plasma homocysteine, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and folic acid levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes.
METHODS
Sixty-five diabetic subjects with no retinopathy and nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) (no
Cobalamin C disease (cblC), a form of combined methylmalonic acidemia and hyperhomocysteinemia caused by mutations in the MMACHC gene, may be the most common inborn error of intracellular cobalamin metabolism. The clinical manifestations of cblC disease are diverse and range from intrauterine growth
BACKGROUND
For assessing the prognosis of a branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO), examination of the arterial blood flow by fluorescein angiography is necessary.
METHODS
In seven patients (mean age: 68.1, youngest 61, oldest 76 years old), with BRAO of varying involvement and extent, the disturbed
OBJECTIVE
The renal impairment in children with methylmalonic aciduria has seldom been reported. To improve knowledge in this aspect, clinical data of five cases with methylmalonic aciduria with renal involvement were analyzed and the results are reported in this paper, which may be of some help in
A 43-year-old male with eunuchoid body proportions and a history of deep venous thromboses in the right leg presented with recurrent ulcers in the right perimalleolar region for 6 years. Karyotyping revealed a 47 XXY Klinefelter's syndrome, while serologic testing showed protein S deficiency,
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to assess the risk factors for central retinal vein occlusion and associated morbidity and mortality in a Chinese population.
METHODS
The participants included patients with central retinal vein occlusion 40 years old and younger. Predisposing factors,
