Acquired protein C and S deficiency, inflammatory bowel disease and cerebral arterial thrombosis
1990
Thromboembolic complications may occur in inflammatory bowel disease. Recently, we had the opportunity to observe a case of a cerebral arterial thrombosis in a young patient with active ulcerative colitis. Investigation of blood coagulation revealed a temporary Protein C, Protein S and Factor II deficiency. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a temporary Protein C and S deficiency in a patient with thrombosis and inflammatory bowel disease.
