Acute Cerebral Infarction as a Rare Thrombotic Event in Myelodysplastic Syndrome: A Case Report

Abstract

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a bone marrow failure syndrome characterized by cytopenia that results in high risks of infection and bleeding. However, there are few reports of cerebral infarction in MDS. We reported a 72-year-old female with MDS who developed acute cerebral infarction. Clinical history of the patient revealed no definite risk factors for stroke except diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia that was well controlled. This case represented the rare occurrence of arterial thrombosis causing acute cerebral infarction in MDS, which may be due to complex chromosomal abnormality and inflammatory processes.

[Retracted] Observation of the Effect of Nursing BPR on Thrombolytic Efficacy and Prognosis of Patients with Cerebral Infarction Based on CT Images

“…As shown in Figure 1 , the structure of a typical CT imaging detection system is shown in the figure above. The system is composed of a radiation source, a high-voltage power supply, a radiation imaging device, a computer, and a display [ 17 , 18 ]. The high-voltage power supply provides high-voltage to the ray source to drive the ray tube to generate rays.…”

Acute Cerebral Infarction in a patient of Myelodysplastic Syndrome: A Case Report and literature review

“…Upon detailed review of titles, abstracts, and full texts, we identi ed 3 articles (3 cases) describing acute cerebral infarction with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (Table 1). One case reported a 72-year-old female with MDS who developed acute cerebral infarction [4] and the other reported a 25-year-old male juvenile MDS with cerebral infarction concerning the invasion of the CNS by leukemia cells 5 . In addition, Gregorius J Sips et.al described a 77-year-old male with intravascular lymphomatosis who had a pathological diagnosis of MDS, developed progressive stroke-like symptoms 6 .…”

Fatal Case Of Solid Organ Infarcts In a Case Of Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) With Refractory Anaemia

“…We present a unique case of bilateral renal and splenic infarct in a MDS-RA. Uptill now, we came across three cases of thrombosis in MDS, one case of DVT, second case of cerebral infarct and third case of splenic infarct (4,5,6). They are summarised in table 1.…”

“…Acute thromboembolism, which is leads to occlusion of blood supply and causing organ infarction, is rare in patients with MDS. Uptill now, we came across three cases of thrombosis in MDS, one case of cerebral infarct, second case of splenic infarct and third case of Deep vein thrombosis(DVT) (4,5,6). We report a case of MDS presenting with bilateral renal, splenic infarction.…”
