| Abstract |
|
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is the renal histopathologic lesion observed in 10% of children with idopathic nephrotic syndrome. Complications include infection, thrombosis, hypocalcemia and adverse effect of steroid use. The incidnce of thrombosis reported ranges from 10~40%. The pathogenesis are changes in coagulation system, decrease of Antithrombin III, increase platelet aggregability and steroid or diuretics use. These changes take place passively as a result of increased protein synthesis and urinary loss of low molecular weight protein.
We experienced a case of cerebral infarction due to thrombosis associated with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome in a 11 year old male patient who had been hospitalized because of convulsion and semicoma. MRI showed an evolving infarct in the occipital lobe, decreased antithrombin III and increased factor VIII on coagulation factor assay.
We hereby report a case of cerebral infarction due to thrombosis associated with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome with a brief review of related literature. |
