Acute Aortic Thrombosis with Massive Intestinal and Lower Limbs Ischaemia in a Girl with Down Syndrome
Patients with Down syndrome may have an increased risk of venous and arterial thrombotic events. Despite these, some argued that there is no increased risk of prothrombotic conditions in trisomy 21 and the thrombosis is usually due to other associated risk factor. Here a report of a 3-year-old g...

| Summary: | Patients with Down syndrome may have an increased risk
of venous and arterial thrombotic events. Despite these,
some argued that there is no increased risk of prothrombotic
conditions in trisomy 21 and the thrombosis is usually due to
other associated risk factor. Here a report of a 3-year-old girl,
known case of Down syndrome, with a past history of atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) repair at the age of 4 months
developed acute aortic thrombosis with massive intestinal and
lower limbs ischemia without obvious cause. |
