Cerebral Venous Thrombosis and Livedo Reticularis in a Case with MTHFR 677TT Homozygote

چکیده
Hyperhomocysteinemia associated with methylene terahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) mutation can be a risk factor for idiopathic cerebral venous thrombosis. We describe the first case of MTHFR 677TT homozygote with cerebral venous thrombosis and livedo reticularis. A 45-year-old man presented with seizures and mottled-like skin lesions, that were aggravated by cold temperature. Hemorrhagic infarct in the right frontoparietal area with superior sagittal sinus thrombosis was observed. He had hyperhomocysteinemia, low plasma folate level, and MTHFR 677TT homozygote genotype, which might be associated with livedo reticularis and increase the risk for cerebral venous thrombosis.

PURPOSE Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a common but elusive condition characterized by a high morbidity and mortality rate. The aim of the present study was to investigate the correlation between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism with plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) levels and DVT risk in an Iranian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS Our study population consiste...
متن کاملNo association between the common MTHFR 677C->T polymorphism and venous thrombosis: results from the MEGA study.
BACKGROUND Increased homocysteine levels are related to the occurrence of venous thrombosis, but whether this relation is causal is unclear. The T-variant of the common methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677C-->T polymorphism mildly increases homocysteine levels. Meta-analyses have demonstrated a weak effect of the MTHFR 677TT genotype on risk but are sensitive to selective publication...

Sneddon's syndrome is characterized by chronic, progressive arteriopathy that causes ischemic stroke and skin lesions. It seems that thrombotic or embolic process in vessels may have role in its pathology. Neurological symptoms are always due to ischemic event of cerebrovascular system and skin manifestations include deep blue skin lesions with irregular margins called livedo reticularis and li...
