Thrombotic storm is a rare condition, characterised by serial thrombotic events, which escalates rapidly within a few days to a few weeks involving multiple and unusual sites. Since it usually responds to anticoagulation and is often lethal if not treated promptly, early diagnosis is crucial. We describe a case of a young pregnant woman with multiple acute arterial and venous thrombotic events including stroke and myocardial infarction, who successfully recovered with continued anticoagulation therapy.
血栓风暴是一种罕见病症,其特征为一系列血栓形成事件,在几天至几周内迅速升级,累及多个不寻常部位。由于它通常对抗凝治疗有反应,若不及时治疗往往会致命,因此早期诊断至关重要。我们描述了一例年轻孕妇的病例,该孕妇发生了包括中风和心肌梗死在内的多处急性动静脉血栓形成事件,通过持续抗凝治疗成功康复。
