We report two children who developed hemiparesis secondary to cerebral infarcts complicating Lemierre syndrome. The fi rst case is a one-year-old patient who presented a left internal jugular vein thrombosis and a left carotid compression due to retropharyngeal cellulitis. The second case is a fi ve-year-old girl who presented a left internal jugular vein and a right carotid artery thrombosis a...

Nephrotic syndrome is a glomerular disease commonly seen in paediatric population. The characterized by hypercoagulable state and risk of thromboembolic complications. Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) rare complication children associated with nephrotic an incidence 0.67/100000 very few case reports described. 12-year-old girl steroid dependent syndrome- minimal change disease, background recen...

background: the purpose of this study is to demonstrate the advantages of gradient echo (gre) sequences in the detection and characterization of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis compared to conventional magnetic resonance sequences. methods: a total of 17 patients with cerebral venous thrombosis (cvt) were evaluated using different magnetic resonance imaging (mri) sequences. the mri sequences i...

BACKGROUND Thrombus formation in the pulmonary vein stump after pulmonary resection has recently been identified as a cause of systemic thrombosis including brain infarction. However, there is limited research focusing on the clinical course of pulmonary vein stump thrombus, and optimal treatment and prevention strategies of this important complication have not been established. CASE PRESENTA...

A 38-year-old woman using hormonal contraception presented with right-sided abdominal and arm clonic seizures, right hemiparesis, hypesthesia, and nausea. She denied headache. D-dimers were 350 ng/mL (laboratory reference #500 ng/mL). CT showed a small left parietal hemorrhagic infarct with adjacent hyperdense cortical vein (figure 1). MRI 15 hours after onset showed magnetic susceptibility eff...

We aimed to study patients with splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT) and cerebral vein thrombosis (CVT) searching for JAK2 mutations. We evaluated 14 patients (median age: 41.5 years) with portal vein thrombosis (PVT) = 7; mesenteric vein thrombosis (MVT) = 3; and CVT = 4. JAK2 V617F was assessed by allele specific PCR of peripheral blood DNA. In addition, DNA was sequenced for other JAK2 mutations...
