ABSTRACT
Homocysteine has been reported as an independent risk factor of intravascular thrombosis and atherosclerosis by its participation in vascular endothelial cell dysfunction, platelet activation and thrombus formation. The serum homocysteine concentration is influenced by not only heredity, but also by environmental factors, and it interacts with the former reported risk factors of atherosclerosis. We report here on a case of a young patient with hyperhomocysteinemia that manifested by deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
