Recurrent Venous Thromboembolic Events in a Child with Severe Factor X Deficiency
Authors
Abstract:
Congenital factor X deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive bleeding disorder that presents with variable bleeding tendency and prolonged coagulation tests, prothrombin time, and partial thromboplastin time. Thromboembolic events have not been reported in patients with factor X deficiency yet. Herein, we report a patient with factor X deficiency who had recurrent venous thromboembolic events.

A case of palmoplantar hyperkeratosis with periodontosis and a history of recurrent severe pyoderma, pneumonia and multiple liver abscesses is described in a 12 year old girl. The patient demonstrated neutrophil dysfunction characterized by decreased random migration and chemotaxis and defective bactericidal activity. The exact immunopathological mechanism for susceptibility to infections i...

In a population-base study published in the Annals of Rheumatic Disease, Aviña-Zubieta et al showed that there is almost 2.5-fold increase in risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA) compared with that in the general population. Higher incidence of VTE is apparently not unique for GCA as a similar increase in risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmona...
full textSevere hyperhomocysteinemia due to cystathionine β-synthase deficiency, and Factor V Leiden mutation in a patient with recurrent venous thrombosis
Homocysteine is an amino acid that is toxic to vascular endothelial cells, and plasma elevations have been associated with venous thromboembolism. Severe hyperhomocysteinemia (>100 μmol/L) may result from mutations in the genes coding for enzymes in the trans-sulfuration or the folate/vitamin B12-dependent re-methylation pathways. Here, we report the case of a young woman with severe, recurrent...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE After cerebral vein and dural sinus thrombosis (CVT), there is an increased risk of further venous thromboembolic events (VTEs). Time to a second cerebral or systemic venous thrombotic event and risk factors for recurrence have not been investigated in large prospective studies. METHODS We used the International Study on Cerebral Vein and Dural sinus Thrombosis, which i...

Case Presentation: A 68-year-old woman with a history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diverticulitis presents to your office for follow-up care. Three months ago, she developed 3 days of pain and swelling in her right calf and thigh. Lower-extremity venous ultrasonography demonstrated a deep vein thrombosis in the right femoral vein. No identifiable cause was noted. She was started on ther...
