Abstract
We report the case of a female patient who had severe thrombotic complications in peripheral (V. jugularis, subclavia, brachialis, poplitea) and visceral (portal and splenic) veins 4 years after the first diagnosis of severe ulcerative pancolitis. A thrombolysis therapy for subclavian and jugular vein thrombosis was performed without complication, but she soon developed acute thrombosis of the hepatic veins (acute Budd-Chiari syndrome). She quickly recovered after liver transplantation and now - 6 years later - she lives a normal life with continuous anticoagulation and medical therapy of the colitis.3 possible causes for the severe coagulation defect in this patient can be supposed: Thrombocytosis, protein C deficiency and an antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.
