Abstract
Activated Protein C resistance is a recently described clotting disord er, accounting for several previously undiagnosed thrombophilic states , Initially this defect had been associated with leg vein thromboses, but it is now recognised that other vascular beds are also prone to cl otting in this disorder. We report a case of acute proptosis in a pati ent,vith Activated Protein C resistance, due to cavernous sinus thromb osis.
