Thrombophilic factors in ischaemic and non-ischaemic idiopathic retinal vasculitis

Associations between thrombophilic risk factors and determinants of atherosclerosis and inflammation in patients with non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy.

UNLABELLED Non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is caused by ischaemia of the optic nerve head. The pathophysiology of NAION is unclear, and no proven effective treatment exists. PATIENTS, METHODS We analyzed thrombophilic risk factors and determinants of atherosclerosis and inflammation in 109 consecutive patients and 109 age- and sex-matched volunteers using a case-cont...

Ischaemic enterocolitis complicating idiopathic dysautonomia.

A previously fit 23 year old adult male who presented with a sudden onset of profound autonomic neuropathy, for which no cause could be found, is described. The patient subsequently developed ischaemic enterocolitis that ultimately necessitated colectomy and subtotal enterectomy. Potential neural and humoral mechanisms are discussed.

Ischaemic and post-ischaemic numbness and paraesthesiae.

Non-atheromatous ischaemic heart disease.

Myocardial ischaemia may result from congenital abnormalities in the origin or distribution of the coronary arteries. Coronary obstruction may also develop at a young age in some rare hereditary disorders such as Hurler's syndrome, homocystinuria or pseudoxanthoma elasticum. The coronary arteries may be the site of embolism; ostial stenosis may complicate luetic (or other) aortitis or coronary ...
