Disseminated intravascular coagulation as a consequence of cerebral damage

Disseminated intravascular coagulation as a consequence of cerebral damage.

Three cases with intracranial lesions developed evidence of disseminated intravascular coagulation which was confirmed at necropsy. The factors engendering this state, including release of potent thromboplastin from neural tissue are discussed and the danger of this intermediary mechanism of disease increasing the mortality of intracranial disease is demonstrated. Careful haematological investi...

Neuroradiologic aspects of cerebral disseminated intravascular coagulation.

Six patients with neurovascular disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) illustrate the diversity of neuroradiologic changes in that condition. Emphasis is placed on the involvement of large cerebral vessels, especially as reflected by cerebral vein or sinus occlusions. The latter occurred in four of the six cases reported; deep or superficial veins, larger lobar draining veins such as the ...

Pulmonary embolism presenting as disseminated intravascular coagulation.

We report an unusual case of disseminated intravascular coagulation. Occult pulmonary embolism is a recognised cause of disseminated intravascular coagulation. Unexplained shock should prompt the physician to search for a thrombotic cause such as pulmonary thromboembolism.
