چکیده
Resumen Discusión y revisión de la bibliografía a partir de un caso de un varón joven con síndrome de Down (SD) y trombosis venosa cerebral (TVC). Caso clínico. Varón de 27 años que comienza con cefalea, vómitos y hemiparesia izquierda. Tras encontrarse hallazgos en la neuroimagen compatibles con trombosis venosa cerebral, se inició tratamiento anticoagulante, con una evolución clínica favorable. Discusión. Los pacientes con SD están predispuestos a la aparición de ictus embólicos secundarios a cardiopatías congénitas; sin embargo, las causas de TVC en el SD son inciertas, teniendo probablemente un origen multifactorial. Hasta la fecha hay dos casos publicados de TVC en pacientes con SD. © 2010 Fundació Catalana Síndrome de Down. Publicado por Elsevier España, S.L. Todos los derechos reservados.
