Cerebral Venous Thrombosis in a Patient with Iron Deficiency Anemia and Thrombocytopenia: A Case Report

AIM: To report a potential association of thrombosis, thrombocytopenia with iron deficiency anaemia. CASE REPORT: A 43-year-old female experienced an episode of a headache, with bilateral papilledema by neurological examination, magnetic resonance venography (MRV) brain showed cerebrovenous thrombos...

description AIM: To report a potential association of thrombosis, thrombocytopenia with iron deficiency anaemia. CASE REPORT: A 43-year-old female experienced an episode of a headache, with bilateral papilledema by neurological examination, magnetic resonance venography (MRV) brain showed cerebrovenous thrombosis (CVT), iron deficiency anaemia and thrombocytopenia by blood investigations, that was treated with iron supplementations and anticoagulation. CONCLUSION: In this patient, cerebrovenous thrombosis (CVT) was discovered in a patient with thrombocytopenia and iron deficiency anaemia and treated with iron supplements and anticoagulation, we concluded that thrombocytopenia is not a protective factor against thrombosis especially with iron deficiency anaemia.
