background: breast cancer is the most common type of malignancy in the female population, rarely is reported by thromboembolic events during the course of the disease. in this case, we present a rare case of breast cancer presenting as deep vein thrombosis of the axillary vein.case presentation: a 40-year- old female was admitted due to pain and swelling of her right arm and forearm of two mont...

High plasma levels of total homocysteine (tHcy) are a risk factor for deep vein thrombosis. Because no information on the relationship between cerebral vein thrombosis and hyperhomocysteinemia is available, a case–control study of 121 patients with a first episode of cerebral vein thrombosis and 242 healthy control subjects was carried out. Fasting plasma levels of tHcy and their postmethionine...

OBJECTIVES To compare the prevalence of prothrombin G20210A in patients with objectively confirmed cerebral vein or cortical vein thrombosis against healthy controls, and evaluate geographical variations. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis of case control studies. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of electronic databases including MEDLINE and EMBASE. The main outcome was the ...

thromboembolic phenomena are the serious consequences of assisted reproductive technology. we present a case of cerebral sinus vein thrombosis (cvst) following ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (ohss). ten days after recovering from ohss, the patient presented in the emergency department with thunderclap headache. her magnetic resonance venography (mrv) showed occluded left transverse sinus an...

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) results from multiple interactions between inherited and environmental risk factors. The lower limbs are the most common site of VTE, but more rarely other venous sites can be involved. The role of risk factors for VTE can be different in the various thrombotic manifestations, and there are specific risk factors for specific sites. Coagulation abnormalities causing ...

We describe a fatal case of intracranial venous thrombosis occurring in early pregnancy. Such thrombosis usually occurs in late pregnancy or the puerperium but rarely during the first trimester of pregnancy. Computerized axial tomography suggested massive cerebral venous infarction. Necropsy findings showed not only cerebral venous thrombosis but also extensive pelvic and iliac vein thromboses....

Venous thrombophilia is the result of clotting changes namely of a hypercoagulable state together with blood flow and vessel wall changes. There is no need for all these components to be present in order for thrombosis to occur. As the matter of fact, thrombosis may occur even if only one of these conditions is present. In clinical practice a combination of factors is usualy seen. In comparison...

Background: The risk of thrombosis is high in patients with Ulcerative Colitis. main location the extremity and pulmonary vein. Cerebral venous a rare for mortality. One factors developing association surgery, especially during an active phase Colitis (UC), very few studies report cases occurring inactive phase. Hence, it important surgeon to understand thrombosis, cerebral sinus patient. Case:...

the goal of this study was to define the normal range of diameter in the deep vein of the lower limb and to compare this range with diameter of the veins with acute thrombosis and of veins with chronic thrombosis by using color doppler sonography. the study was cross sectional. the vein diameter and vein to artery ratio in different levels were measured and the following results were obtained. ...
