Abstract
Cerebral venous thrombosis is an uncommon complication of ulcerative c olitis. We report the case of a 29-yr-old female with a recent diagnos is of ulcerative colitis who suffered stroke secondary to thrombosis o f the veins of Galen and straight sinus. A search for a hypercoagulabl e state revealed a nonfamilial transient protein S deficiency. Possibl e involvement of C4b-binding protein in this hypercoagulable state is discussed.
