Article Synopsis
- A case study of an 8-year-old boy with a red cell membrane disorder who developed portal vein thrombosis following laparoscopic surgery, specifically cholecystectomy and splenectomy.
- The child had a history of right hemiparesis due to a hypoxic-ischemic event at birth and carried a specific genetic mutation related to folate metabolism.
- Treatment involved the use of intravenous heparin and aspirin, leading to symptom relief within three days and complete resolution of the thrombosis two months later, alongside a discussion of potential causes for the thrombosis based on existing literature.
