We report a patient with unusual venous and arterial thromboses in association with the common thermolabile methyltetrahydrofolate (MTHFR) variant. The patient responded directly to folate supplementation. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing hyperhomocysteinemia in association with this type of thrombosis.
