Abstract:
We describe a case of essential thrombocythemia in a patient with a mild heart failure. The only clinical manifestation consisted of neurologic symptoms. Cerebral CT was able to show boundary zone infarcts. A possible pathogenetic mechanism for the unusual clinical and radiological finding is proposed.
