Venous thrombosis typically involves the lower extremity circulation. Rarely, it can occur in the cerebral or splanchnic veins and these are the most frightening manifestations because of their high mortality rate. A third site of rare venous thrombosis is the deep system of the upper extremities that, as for the lower extremity, can be complicated by pulmonary embolism and post-thrombotic synd...

Thrombosis We read with great interest the article by Boukobza et al reporting the usefulness of the T2 gradient-echo (T2*) sequence in making the diagnosis of isolated cortical vein thrombosis. In substance, the authors claim that magnetic susceptibility effect (MSE) is always visible, regardless of the age of the thrombi in the veins. Therefore, after reading this article, one can understand ...

BACKGROUND Thrombosis of splanchnic or cerebral veins is a typical manifestation of polycythemia vera (PV) or essential thrombocythemia (ET). The recently identified Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) V617F somatic mutation is closely related to chronic myeloproliferative disorders (CMD). OBJECTIVE To assess the incidence of the JAK2 V617F mutation among patients with splanchnic or cerebral venous thrombo...
