Multiple Abdominal Veins Thrombosis Secondary to Protein S Deficiency - A Case Report

Abstract

Abdominal venous thrombosis may present either as Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) caused by hepatic vein or proximal inferior vena cava (IVC) obstruction or as an extra hepatic portal obstruction (EHPVO) caused by Portal vein thrombosis or mesenteric vein thrombosis, but a mixed involvement is uncommon. Multiple abdominal venous obstructions presenting with thrombosis of hepatic vein, IVC, portal vein and renal vein are very rarely seen . We are reporting a rare case with thrombosis of IVC, hepatic vein, portal vein and renal vein, with protein S and protein C deficiencies, which was managed by giving anticoagulant therapy.

Acute Renal Failure after Abdominal Trauma: Renal Artery Spasm Hypothesis in Ischemic Infarction in a 12-Year-Old Girl

“…One hypothesis would be the occlusion of renal arteries by compression against the spine bone. This mechanism has already been reported but is often associated with a posttraumatic thrombosis [ 8 ]. We hypothesize that this trauma may provoke vasospasms within the renal parenchyma or in the renal artery, responsible for a deep ischemia.…”
