Background: Protein S deficiency is a rare inherited disease. We report the case of a young man who unexpectedly developed isolated cortical vein thrombosis (ICoVT) associated with a novel PROS1 mutation.

Methods: Clinical symptoms were recorded, and physical examinations conducted.

Congenital protein C (PC) deficiency is a mostly autosomal dominant hereditary thrombophilia associated with early onset arterial and venous thrombotic diseases. In newborns, PC deficiency results in severe complications such as cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, and purpura fulminans, leading to death in some cases. We report two cases of deep vein thrombosis diagnosed during pregnancy that prompted genetic testing confirming definitive congenital PC deficiency.

Background: Thrombophilias are characterized by excessive venous and arterial thrombosis at regular or unusual sites. It may result from inherited, acquired, or a combination. Hereditary thrombophilia (HT) is detected in 30-40% of patients with thromboembolism.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is common among older individuals, but provoking factors are not identified in many cases. Patients with myeloid malignancies, especially myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), are at increased risk for venous thrombosis. Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), a precursor state to myeloid malignancies, is common among older individuals and may similarly predispose to venous thrombosis.
