Recommendation: Hereditary thrombophilia testing has no advantage in children with nephrotic syndrome who develop
thrombosis.
MRI revealed enlargement of the L superior and inferior ophthalmic veins without contrast enhancement concerning for
thrombosis (Figure 2).
Computerized Tomography (CT) scan of her abdomen and pelvis with contrast (Figure 1) was performed to confirm our diagnosis but instead it revealed a thin-walled gall bladder, stranding adjacent to the pancreatic tail and a 3 cm reduced attenuation structure, which was thought to represent an acute
thrombosis of the umbilical vein.
PET-CT scan revealed stability of the right pulmonary vein
thrombosis as well as of the lung and mediastinal lymph node metastasis.
Heifetz [1] estimated that
thrombosis of the umbilical cord occurs in approximately 1 in 1300 deliveries and 1 in 1000 perinatal autopsies, and that umbilical artery
thrombosis carries a worse prognosis than venous
thrombosis.
The SPS was first described in the 80s as a thrombophilia in which qualitative alterations of the platelet function increase its aggregation capacity, favoring in this way
thrombosis with described cases of cerebrovascular disease, acute myocardial infarction, and ischemic retinopathy [7].
Filling defects were observed in the sinus rectus, both transverse and sigmoid sinuses and jugular vein tracing in his brain magnetic rezonans imaging (MRI) venography, and he was diagnosed with sinus vein
thrombosis (Figure la, lb).
Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) for the diagnosis of suspected lower extremity deep venous
thrombosis (DVT) is a well-established practice in the medical literature.

Thrombosis drugs help in the prevention or inhibition of thrombus, by mimicking the role of ant thrombin, a protein molecule produced in the body, which helps clotting of the blood.

First described in 1825 by French physician Ribes, cerebral venous
thrombosis (CVT) is a rare condition, frequently underdiagnosed, with a low incidence of 3-4 cases/million inhabitants/year, but an important mortality rate (10-13%), affecting especially young women, between ages of 2040 years [1].
Objective: To determine the incidence of clinically detectable deep venous
thrombosis (DVT) in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy without a standard DVT prophylaxis regimen.
One in four people worldwide are dying from conditions caused by
thrombosis, making it a leading global cause of death and disability.
4, 2018 (HealthDay News) -- The likelihood of residual vein obstruction (RVO) is reduced with immediate compression after diagnosis of deep vein
thrombosis, according to a study published online Sept.
