Saddle pulmonary embolism as the initial presentation of prothrombin gene mutation G20210A.
To cite: Kiyani A, Ursu S. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/ bcr-2016-218128 DESCRIPTION A Hispanic man aged 28 years with intermittent tobacco and cocaine use presented to the emergency department with acute shortness of breath for 2 days duration in addition to brief calf pain a few days prior that had resolved. He had sustained tachycardia 120–130 bp...
متن کاملCerebral Venous Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism with Prothrombin G20210A Gene Mutation.
A 25-year-old man presented with symptoms of syncope, cough, headache and hemoptysis. Cranial MR and venography showed thrombus formation in the right transverse sinus and superior sagittal sinus. Computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) showed an embolic thrombus in the right pulmonary truncus and lung abscess. The patient was young, and there were no signs of lower extremity deep ven...
متن کاملProthrombin gene mutation (G20210A) in healthy Centenarians.
A recently described genetic variant of the prothrombin gene (G to A transition at nucleotide position 20210) is associated with an increased risk of venous thrombosis (1). The 20210A prothrombin allele may precipitate cerebral ischemia or myocardial infarction in young patients with known prothrombotic abnormalities (2, 3). Similarly, it has been demonstrated that factor V Leiden further incre...
متن کاملPulmonary Embolism as the Initial Presentation of Testicular Carcinoma
Objective. The risk of pulmonary embolism is well recognized as showing an increase in oncological patients. We report a case presenting with pulmonary embolism initially, which was then diagnosed with testicular cancer. Clinical Presentation and Intervention. A 25-year-old man was admitted to the emergency department with a complaint of dyspnoea. Thoracic tomography, lung ventilation/perfusion...
متن کاملVenous intestinal ischemia due to G20210A mutation of prothrombin gene.
Venous intestinal ischemia is a relatively rare disease, which has some predisposing factor up to 80 % of cases. These factors may be temporary or permanent. Cancer, immobilization, trauma, intraabdominal infections, or oral contraceptives are temporary factors. Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria and hypercoagulability states as factor V Leiden, G20210A mutation in prothrombin gene, C677T meth...
