Abstract

A 36-year-old woman with a history of spontaneous abortion and photosensitivity was admitted to our hospital with periumbilical pain and lower extremity edema. The preoperative CT scan revealed massive inferior vena cava thrombus, which extended from the suprarenal portion of the vena cava to the hepatic vein. The laboratory data showed an elevated level of anticardiolipin antibody, which suggested the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome. After medical management, she underwent an operation for removal of an vena cava thrombus by performing cavectomy and thrombectomy. After the operation, she has been taking oral anticoagulation and she is doing quite well at 9 months after her operation.

36세의 여자환자가 복부통증 및 하지부종소견을 주소로 내원하였다. 과거력상 자연유산의 경험이 있고 광과민성, 수관절 통증을 간헐적으로 호소하였으며, 입원당시 시행한 컴퓨터 단층촬영상 하대정맥에 혈전이 관찰되었으며, 혈액검사상 자가항체의 상승이 동반되어 인지질항체 증후군으로 진단되었다. 헤파린 및 이뇨제등의 약물치료를 유지하는 동안 폐동맥색전증이 관찰되어 혈전제거 술을 시행하였으며 현재 환자는 특별한 재발의 소견 없이 항응고요법을 시행하며 외래에서 추적관찰중이다.
