Silent Myocardial Infarction in Hypereosinophilic Syndrome Overlapped with JAK2-Mediated Essential Thrombocytosis: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 61-year-old male with chronic cough, paraesthesia of the extremities, and sinusitis presented for acute worsening symptoms despite initial treatment antibiotics prednisone. Emergency department evaluation revealed mild elevated troponin without ECG changes in absence coronary symptoms, but markedly eosinophil count an abnormal chest CT. nuclear stress test basal inferoseptal dyskinesis fixed apical defect. Left heart catheterisation multiple stenosis requiring intervention. Further extensive work-up confirmed a diagnosis hypereosinophilic syndrome complicated respiratory, cardiac, gastroenterological, neurological involvement. The patient was initially treated high dose intravenous steroid hydroxyurea. Flow cytometry negative FIP1L1-PDGFRA gene rearrangement, positive JAK2 V617F mutation perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies/cytoplasmic antibodies, indicating possible overlap eosinophilic granulomatosis polyangiitis.

Silent Myocardial Infarction Presented with Homonymous Hemianopia: A Rare Case Study
Silent myocardial infarction is a little-known phenomenon, the mechanisms of which have still remained unclear. Herein, we presented the case of a middle-aged man suffering from silent myocardial infarction who presented with homonymous hemianopia and no other major cardiovascular risk factors, except for stage 1 hypertension.
متن کاملMetachronous Bilateral Silent Sinus Syndrome: A Case Report
Introduction: Bilateral silent sinus syndrome (SSS) is a very rare pathology reported only in few papers in literature. Most of the described cases are simultaneous, and only one had a metachronous presentation. The evolutionary phases of the disease have yet to be well demonstrated and a complete radiological evaluation is needed to demonstrate the pathogenetic mechanisms that cause the ...
متن کاملParadoxical mesentery embolism and silent myocardial infarction in primary antiphospholipid syndrome: a case report.
In this case, we describe a 33-year-old man presenting with acute mesenteric ischemia. When we searched for a source of embolism, a giant right atrial mass and patent foramen ovale was discovered. Standard electrocardiography showed signs of an old, silent anteroseptal wall myocardial infarction, confirmed by echocardiography and left ventriculography. Coronary angiography revealed complete occ...
متن کاملSudden death associated with silent myocardial infarction in a 35-year-old man: a case report
BACKGROUND Silent myocardial infarction relates to the absence of symptoms usually associated with myocardial ischemia. It has been estimated that silent myocardial infarction can occur in 2-4 % of young adult asymptomatic men. A majority of patients without an initially apparent cause of sudden death have been found at autopsy to have had significant coronary heart disease, including old, unde...
متن کاملHypereosinophilic syndrome with recurrent strokes: a case report.
PURPOSE Hypereosinophilic syndrome is a rare disorder which can cause ischemic stroke. Although cardioembolism is acknowledged as the most common etiology for stroke, the underlying pathogenesis of hypereosinophilic syndrome could be heterogeneous. Herein we describe a patient with persistent hypereosnophillia with recurrent strokes focusing on the pathogenetic mechanism of stroke. CASE REPOR...
