Venous Thrombosis Revealing Celiac Disease: Two Cases
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Celiac disease is an autoimmune enteropathy which can be unusually reveled by venous thrombosis. The association of venous thrombosis and celiac disease has been reported in almost all patients of Maghreb origin. We report two new cases of two female Moroccan patients, one admitted for thrombosis of the portal trunk with extension to the superior mesenteric vein and the other for deep vein thrombosis of the left lower limb. Etiological assay results were in favor of celiac disease. Clinical symptomatology improved significantly under anticoagulant treatment and gluten-free diet. It is necessary to think of celiac disease in the presence of unexplained thrombotic manifestations, especially in the presence of malabsorption syndrome.
