Deep Venous Thrombosis in Behcet's Syndrome: is Anticoagulation Necessary?
Journal Title: Journal of Musculoskeletal Disorders and Treatment - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the lower extremities is a common medical presentation. Anticoagulation is the cornerstone of management. However, not all DVTs require anticoagulation. We report a case of DVT in a patient with Behcet's Syndrome where venous inflammation is the primary pathology and anti-inflammatory therapy is primary and the role of anti-coagulation is moot.
