Core Tip |
Hemostatic abnormalities that have already been described in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome patients include platelet abnormalities (release defects, ?-storage pool disease) as well as clotting factor deficiencies that increase the bleeding tendencies of patients. The coexistence of platelet ?-storage pool disease and factor Ⅴ Leiden mutation in our patient manifested as having aneurysms of the splenic, renal, hepatic, gastric, mesenteric arteries and diffuse aneurysms of the upper and lower extremities as well as bilateral lower extremity deep vein thromboses and pulmonary emboli. This propensity to both bleeding and clotting made the management of our patient challenging on this presentation with acute anterolateral myocardial infarction. |
