Resistance to activated protein C as a risk factor of stroke in a thalassemic patient.
It is well known that thalassemic patients exhibit an increased frequency of thrombotic events. Most individuals with resistance to activated protein C (APCR) are the result of a point mutation replacing Arg 506 with Gln in the factor V aminoacidic sequence (factor V Leiden). Recently APCR has been shown to account for up to 50% of cases of thrombophilia. In this report, we describe a 10 year o...
متن کاملParavertebral Extramedullary Hematopoiesis In A Pregnant Thalassemic Patient: A Case Report
Spinal cord compression due to extramedullary hematopoiesis is a well-described and rare syndrome encountered in several hematological disorders including β-thalassemia. Hereby, a 37-year old pregnant woman with intermediate β -thalassemia with paraparesis and lower limb hypoesthesia was presented. MRI s...
متن کاملIsolated Pulmonary Arteriovenous Fistula in a Patient with Recurrent Stroke.
UNLABELLED Paradoxical embolism is a risk factor for cryptogenic stroke in young adults, and can be primarily attributed to the presence of patent foramen ovale (PFO). Although contrast echocardiography may facilitate diagnosis, it would be difficult to distinguish a PFO from a pulmonary arteriovenous fistula (PAVF), which could also result in paradoxical embolism. We report a 46-year-old woman...
متن کاملIron deposits in the knee joints of a thalassemic patient
The overall prognosis for patients with β-thalassemia has improved considerably during the past decades mainly due to regular blood transfusions, improvements in chelation therapy, and enhanced surveillance with imaging studies examining iron overload and other clinical complications. However, the prolonged survival of these patients leads to the development of other health problems including d...
متن کاملMicroembolic signal predicts recurrent cerebral ischemic events in acute stroke patients with middle cerebral artery stenosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral embolism is a common cause of stroke. Microembolic signals (MES) detected by transcranial Doppler represent ongoing embolisms, but the lack of reliable data about its clinical relevance hinders its widespread use in clinical practice. METHODS We prospectively monitored 114 consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients with middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis for...
