Abstract
A 30-year-old woman is described with both a cerebral venous thrombosi s and a deep vein thrombosis of her leg in association with an exacerb ation of her ulcerative colitis. Laboratory investigations revealed a transient functional APC resistance, without Factor V mutation, and a mild hyperhomocysteinaemia. After colectomy the APC ratio was normal. These findings may form a partial explanation of the thrombophilia see n in some patients with active ulcerative colitis.
