    Abstract Lumbar puncture (LP) is rarely complicated by cerebral vein thrombosis (CVT), especially if other risk factors coexist. We describe the case of a 28-year-old woman who developed CVT after corticosteroid treatment and LP performed for suspected multiple sclerosis. The day after LP, she developed intense headache and on Day 8 generalized tonic-clonic seizures. A brain computed tomography scan showed thrombosis of the superior sagittal sinus and cortical veins. Thrombophilia screening showed heterozygous G20210A prothrombin mutation. Anticoagulant therapy with low molecular weight heparin and then warfarin was administered until Day 16 after LP, when a brain magnetic resonance imaging showed a subdural hematoma. Warfarin was interrupted and dabigatran was started. The patient recovered completely, both from the initial thrombotic event and the hemorrhagic complication. This case highlights the importance to keep in mind CVT in the differential diagnosis of post-LP headache not responsive to standard therapy, and suggests that dabigatran can be considered an effective and safe treatment of CVT.

    Abstract Background: Real-world experience with adenoviral vector vaccines against COVID-19 raised some safety concerns. Cases of cerebral vein thrombosis (CVT) associated with thrombocytopenia have been observed after the first dose of the adenoviral vector vaccines CHADOX1 NCOV-19 and AD26.COV2.S.
    Objectives: To assess the reporting rate of CVT as adverse drug reaction (ADR) for the COVID-19 vaccines authorized in Europe.
    Patients and methods: This observational study assessed the CVT reporting rate attributed to four COVID-19 vaccines authorized in Europe, namely Tozinameran (Pfizer-Biontech), CX-024414 (Moderna), CHADOX1 NCOV-19 (AstraZeneca), and AD26.COV2.S (Janssen). Data on thrombotic ADRs reported on EudraVigilance database between January 1, 2021 and July 30, 2021, were collected. ADRs referring to CVT were identified. The reporting rate of CVT was expressed as 1 million individual vaccinated-days with 95% confidence interval. Finally, an observed-to-expected (OE) analysis was performed.
    Results: The reporting rate of CVT per 1 million person vaccinated-days was 1.92 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.71-2.12) for Tozinameran, 5.63 (95% CI, 4.74-6.64) for CX-024414, 21.60 (95% CI, 20.16-23.11) for CHADOX1 NCOV-19, and 11.48 (95% CI, 9.57-13.67) for AD26.COV2.S. CVT occurred alongside thrombocytopenia for the four vaccines. The OE ratio was greater than one for all four vaccines, both with the lowest and the highest CVT background incidence.
    Conclusions: This report on EudraVigilance data strengthens anecdotal findings on CVT following COVID-19 vaccinations. Although the European Medicines Agency released an alert only for CHADOX1 NCOV-19 and AD26.COV2.S, Tozinameran and CX-024414 also are complicated by CVT, albeit to lesser extent.

    Abstract The estimated annual incidence of cerebral vein thrombosis (CVT) is 3 to 4 cases per million in adults and 7 cases per million in neonates. Among the commonest risk factors there are oral contraceptive use, pregnancy and puerperium that make CVT more frequent in women than in men. Cerebral tumors, infections and traumas are less encountered local risk factors. In 15-20% of patients CVT remains unprovoked. Coagulation abnormalities causing thrombophilia, as well as hyperhomocysteinemia, are worthy to be investigated in patients with CVT. Rarely CVT can be the first clinical manifestation of a myeloproliferative neoplasm. The recurrence rate of CVT is low, but venous thromboembolism in the common sites (lower-limb deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism) can recur, particularly in patients with a first idiopathic CVT. Early diagnosis and anticoagulant treatment reduce morbidity of CVT and improve survival, although the optimal duration of anticoagulant treatment is not well established.

    Abstract High plasma levels of factor VIII (FVIII) and von Willebrand factor (VWF) have been indicated as independent risk factors for venous thromboembolism. However, the genetic factors responsible for their increase remain poorly known. In a large Italian family with high FVIII/VWF levels and thrombotic episodes, whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed on 12 family members to identify variants/genes involved in FVIII/VWF increase. Twenty variants spread over a 8300 Kb region on chromosome 5 were identified in 12 genes, including the low frequency rs13158382, located upstream of the

    Abstract Venous thrombosis rarely occurs at unusual sites such as cerebral, splanchnic, upper-extremity, renal, ovarian, or retinal veins. Clinical features, symptoms, and risk factors of rare thrombotic manifestations are heterogeneous and in large part differ from those typical of the commonest manifestations of venous thrombosis at the lower extremities. The therapeutic approach also varies widely according to the affected site, whether cerebral, abdominal, or extraabdominal. To date, anticoagulant therapy for thrombosis at unusual sites is generally accepted, but the optimal therapeutic approach remains challenging. This review is focused on the treatment of unusual thrombotic manifestations as reported in the most recent guidelines and according to the updated scientific literature.

    Abstract Autoimmune hemolytic anemias are rare and heterogeneous disorders characterized by hemolysis, which is a well-recognized risk factor for thrombosis. The most common immune-mediated anemias are represented by autoimmune hemolytic anemia and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, both associated with a high rate of thrombosis. Multiple pathophysiological mechanisms for thrombosis have been proposed, involving hemolysis itself and additional effects of the immune system. Despite the increasing awareness of the thrombotic risk in these conditions, evidence-based guidance on prevention and management of thrombotic events is lacking. We herein report available evidence on epidemiological data on thrombosis and thrombophilia in immune-mediated hemolysis, together with possible underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. In addition, we summarize current recommendations for treatment of thrombosis in immune-mediated hemolysis. In particular, we address the issue of thrombotic complications treatment and prophylaxis by proposing a therapeutic algorithm, focusing on specific situations such as splenectomy and pregnancy.

    Abstract Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by the persistent positivity of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLA) together with thrombosis or obstetrical complications. Despite their recognized predominant role, aPLA are not sufficient to induce the development of thrombosis and a second hit has been proposed to be necessary. The mainstay of treatment of APS is anticoagulant therapy. However, its optimal intensity in different presentations of the disease remains undefined. Moreover, decision on which patients with aPLA would benefit from an antithrombotic prophylaxis and its optimal intensity are challenging because of the lack of stratification tools for the risk of thrombosis. Finally, decision on the optimal type of anticoagulant drug is also complex because the central pathway responsible for the development of thrombosis is so far unknown and should be carried out on an individual basis after a careful evaluation of the clinical and laboratory features of the patient. This review addresses the epidemiology, physiopathology, diagnosis and management of thrombosis and obstetrical complications in APS, with a special focus on the role of direct oral anticoagulants.
