    CEREBRAL SINUS VENOUS THROMBOSIS IN SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS PATIENTABSTRACTCerebral sinus venous thrombosis (CSVT) may sometimes be associated with autoimmune disorder like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It is characterized by dural venous thrombosis which can cause variety of symptoms including headache, convulsion, motor weakness, and decreased level of consciousness. Thrombosis often occurs in the lower extremities in postpartum women due to prolonged bed rest and caesarean section. We reported a 33-year-old woman, who presented with chief complaint of weakness in the left arm and leg, a history of headache and seizures, the following 3 weeks, she had swelling and pain which started at the tip of the left foot then right leg and to the waist. D-dimer level was increased with positive ANA test. Diagnostic investigations include non-contrast head CT scan, CTV, DSA, Doppler ultrasound and thoracoabdominal vasculare CT. Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) was given for 5 days, continued with oral anticoagulant.Keywords: Cerebral sinus venous thrombosis, deep vein thrombosis, LMWH, postpartum, systemic lupus erythematosusABSTRAKCerebral sinus venous thrombosis (CSVT) dapat berkaitan dengan gangguan autoimun seperti systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Hal ini ditandai adanya trombosis vena dural yang menyebabkan berbagai gejala, seperti nyeri kepala, kejang, kelemahan motorik, serta penurunan kesadaran. Trombosis juga sering terjadi di ekstremitas bawah pada perempuan postpartum akibat tirah baring yang lama dan tindakan seksio sesaria. Dilaporkan kasus seorang perempuan 33 tahun dengan keluhan kelemahan tubuh sisi kiri serta riwayat nyeri kepala dan kejang yang 3 minggu kemudian dijumpai bengkak dan nyeri mulai dari ujung kaki kiri kemudian kaki kanan, hingga naik sampai pinggang. Terdapat peningkatan D-dimer dengan tes ANA (+). Pemeriksaan penunjang diagnostik berupa head CT scan nonkontras, CTV, DSA, USG doppler ekstremitas serta CT vascular thoracoabdominal. Pasien diberikan terapi low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) selama 5 hari, dilanjutkan dengan antikoagulan oral.Kata kunci: Cerebral sinus venous thrombosis, deep vein thrombosis, LMWH, postpartum, systemic lupus erythematosus

Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are at high risk of arterial and venous thrombosis secondary to anti-phospholipid antibodies. Herein, we are presenting an interesting case of venous thrombosis in a patient with SLE in the absence of anti-phospholipid antibodies.

We report the case of a 56-year-old male patient, who over two decades, sequentially presented with a combination of clinical manifestations. These included thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), right leg deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and eventually constitutional symptoms, arthralgia, diffuse lymphadenopathy, pancytopenia, skin rash, pericarditis, and glomerulonephritis. Serologic tests and renal pathology uncovered a diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and immunosuppressive therapy was initiated. Soon after, the patient developed striking cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia, requiring prolonged antiviral therapy and reduction of immunosuppression. Finally, an acute embolic stroke complicated the disease course. Prompt interventions allowed an excellent clinical outcome.

AbstractThrombotic events (TE), including deep vein thrombosis, stroke, and myocardial infarction, occur in 30–40% of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) resulting in substantial morbidity and mortality. We explored the risk factors for TE in SLE patients. We analyzed data obtained during a prospective cohort based on the KORean lupus NETwork (KORNET) registry, and enrolled 259 SLE patients with clinical data available at the onset of SLE. TE was defined as the presence of arterial or venous thrombosis. Multivariate Cox-proportional hazards analysis was performed to investigate risk factors for TE. During a mean follow-up of 103.3 months (SD 53.4), 27 patients (10.4%) had a TE. In multivariate analysis, hypertension (hazard ratio [HR] 7.805, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.929–31.581; P = 0.004), anti-phospholipid syndrome (APS) (HR 12.600, 95% CI: 4.305–36.292; P < 0.001), mean daily prednisolone > 5 mg/day (HR 3.666, 95% CI: 1.318–10.197; P = 0.013), and SLICC/ACR Damage Index (SDI) score (HR 1.992, 95% CI: 1.465–2.709; P < 0.001) were significantly associated with the development of TE in SLE patients. Instead, use of an ACEi or ARB (HR 0.159, 95% CI: 0.043–0.594; P = 0.006) was a protective factor against TE development in these patients. In conclusion, hypertension, higher mean daily dose of prednisolone, diagnosis of APS, and higher SDI were risk factors for TE in patients with SLE. On the other hand, the use of an ACEi or ARB was associated with a reduced risk of TE.
