Iatrogenic Coagulopathy and the Development of Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome after L-asparaginase Chemotherapy

Abstract: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical and radiological syndrome mostly related to hypertension, eclampsia, renal failure, or to chemotherapy and/or immunosuppressive drugs. Although the PRES pathophysiology is multifactorial, hypertension and endothelial dysfunction are hypothesized to be the pivotal factors. Here we report a case of PRES in an adult patient after chemotherapy (Escherichia coli L-asparaginase [L-ASP], daunorubicin, vincristine, and intrathecal methotrexate) for acut… Show more

“…Virchow's triad describes the 3 main causes of DVT, namely stasis, hypercoagulability, and endothelial changes. 10,11 Patients with lower extremity fractures must stay in bed and rest after injury. However, long-term bed rest leads to reduced muscle pumping, severe local blood flow stagnation, and serious vascular endothelial injury.…”

“…DVT, a subclinical disease, is a blood clot that forms within a deep vein in the body, typically in the lower extremities 2 24 25. The occurrence of DVT generally relates to Virchow’s triad, which states three prime reasons: stasis, hypercoagulability and endothelial changes 26 27. For patients with traumatic fractures, enormous external energy such as fall injury or traffic traumas may lead to vascular injuries.…”
