ISCHEMIC STROKE AND SUBSEQUENT PHLEBOTHROMBOSIS IN A PATIENTWITH A HISTORY OF THROMBOPHILIA CLINICAL CASE

Abstract

We present a clinical case with combined ischemic stroke with performed intravenous thrombolysis and subsequent phlebothrombosis in a young patient with identified risk factors – interatrial septal defect, congenital thrombophilia, ACE I/D polymorphism, and preterm delivery a month before hospitalization. Computed tomography of the brain with cerebral perfusion, laboratory studies, Doppler sonography, and echocardiography are discussed. The purpose of what is reported is to emphasize the importance of knowing the less common etiologic factors with a potential role in the occurrence of acute cerebral circulatory disorders, as well as the possibilities for primary and secondary prevention.
