Abstract

Many previously undescribed complications develop in the patients with thalassemia major due to improving survival. One of these complications is thromboembolic conditions. Hypercoagulability is known clearly especially in splenectomized thalassemia patients. The most common site of thrombosis is brain in the patients with thalassemia major. Intracardiac thrombosis is infrequent. We discussed a splenectomized patient with thalassemia major who has an increasing effort dyspnea and right atrial multiple thrombus last 2 years.

Özet

Talasemi majorlü (TM) hastaların son yıllarda daha uzun yaşatılabilmeleri daha önce bilinmeyen bazı komplikasyonların ortaya çıkmasına neden olmuştur. Bu komplikasyonlardan biri de hemostatik değişikliklere bağlı gelişen tromboembolik olaylardır. Özellikle splenektomi geçiren talasemililerde kronik hiperkoagülabilitenin varlığı kanıtlanmıştır. Talasemide birçok tromboembolik komplikasyonlar bildirilmiştir. Bunların önemli bir bölümü serebral trombozlardır. İntrakardiyak trombus ise oldukça nadirdir. Bu sunumda 6 yıl önce splenektomi yapılan ve 2 yıldır gittikçe artan efor dispnesi olan ve ekokardiyografisinde sağ atriyumda multiple trombus saptanan TM olgusu sunulmaktadır.
