Recurrent cerebral ischaemic events in the setting of paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria.
BMJ Case Reports 2016 Februrary 5
The authors present a case of a 28-year-old man with a known history of paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH), under platelet antiaggregation, admitted following recurrent transitory arterial ischaemic attacks. Concomitant thrombosis of the superior mesenteric artery and bilateral renal infarction was found. Cardioembolism, namely patent foramen ovale, was excluded and anticoagulation added, with no further events on 10-month follow-up. PNH is a rare acquired disorder of haematopoietic stem cells, characterised by haemolytic anaemia, pancytopenia and thrombotic events classically involving the venous system. Reports of cerebral artery stroke and accompanying intra-abdominal arterial thrombosis are especially rare. Complementary investigation and treatment options in these patients are discussed.
