ABSTRACT

Discusión y revisión de la bibliografía a partir de un caso de un varón joven con síndrome de Down (SD) y trombosis venosa cerebral (TVC). Caso clínico. Varón de 27 años que comienza con cefalea, vómitos y hemiparesia izquierda. Tras encontrarse hallazgos en la neuroimagen compatibles con trombosis venosa cerebral, se inició tratamiento anticoagulante, con una evolución clínica favorable. Discusión. Los pacientes con SD están predispuestos a la aparición de ictus embólicos secundarios a cardiopatías congénitas; sin embargo, las causas de TVC en el SD son inciertas, teniendo probablemente un origen multifactorial. Hasta la fecha hay dos casos publicados de TVC en pacientes con SD (AU)


This review and discussion of the current literature is based on the case of a young man with Down’s syndrome (DS) and cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). Clinical case. Twenty-seven-year-old male who presented with headache, vomiting and left hemiparesis. After finding signs consistent with cerebral venous thrombosis on neuroimaging, anticoagulant treatment was started, and eventuated in a favorable clinical outcome. Discussion. DS patients are predisposed to the occurrence of embolic stroke secondary to congenital heart disease. However, the causes of CVT in DS are uncertain, but probably have a multifactorial origin. There are to date two published cases of CVT in patients with DS (AU)
