Abstract:
A patient with splanchnic venous thrombosis due to heterozygous deficiency of protein C is reported. A review of the literature revealed that out of nine previously reported patients an isolated protein C deficiency was present in only one. Anticoagulant regimen carries a risk of hypercoagulability and certain precautions with such regimens are therefore necessary when treating patients in this condition.
