Right atrial thrombosis associated with sagittal sinus thrombosis caused by protein C-S deficiency.
Right atrial thrombi may develop within the right atrium or may have peripheral venous origins that, on their way to the final destination site lodge in, right atrium. Right atrial thrombosis is classified as two type: A (mobile, thin) and B (non mobile and attached to atrial wall) that they are probably of cardiac origin due to local pathology, indwelling catheter, atrial fibrillation, stasis,...
متن کاملProtein C deficiency and mesenteric venous thrombosis.
A 22-year-old woman with a history of gestational toxicosis and oral contraceptive use for 3 years reported progressive vague abdominal pain and vomiting over a 2-day period, without constipation, followed by rectal bleeding. On physical examination in the emergency department, the patient was afebrile, her blood pressure was 110/70 mm Hg and her pulse rate was 80 beats/min. There was diffuse a...
متن کاملCerebral infarction associated with protein C deficiency.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A deficiency of plasma protein C, both the hereditary and acquired types, is one cause of thromboembolic disease. Several antineoplastic agents have been reported to decrease the production of protein C in the liver by impairing either the absorption or metabolism of vitamin K, leading to acquired protein C deficiency. CASE DESCRIPTION We treated a young woman with prot...
متن کاملFamilial protein S deficiency is associated with recurrent thrombosis.
Recent studies have demonstrated that protein C deficiency is associated with recurrent familial thrombosis. In plasma, activated protein C functions as an anticoagulant. This anticoagulant response requires a vitamin K-dependent plasma protein cofactor, referred to as protein S. Since the anticoagulant activity of activated protein C is dependent on protein S, we hypothesized that patients lac...
متن کاملExtensive venous and arterial thrombosis associated with an inhibitor to activated protein C.
Activated protein C resistance (APCR) in the absence of alterations in the factor V gene has been observed during pregnancy, in patients on oral contraceptives, in the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies, and in patients with ischemic stroke. We report a 49-year-old woman with recurrent major venous and arterial thromboses who displayed pronounced APCR, yet no changes in the activated prote...
