Spontaneous Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia Presenting as Concomitant Bilateral Cerebrovascular Infarction and Acute Coronary Syndrome
Background: Spontaneous heparin-induced thrombocytopenia is a pro-thrombotic syndrome in which anti-heparin antibodies develop without heparin exposure.
Case presentation: A 78-year-old man who underwent a successful lumbar laminectomy presented to the hospital 5 days after discharge for stroke-like symptoms and was found to have acute infarcts of the bilateral frontal lobes. The patient was found to be severely thrombocytopenic and was incidentally found to have an inferior wall myocardial infarction. Further investigation led to the diagnosis of bilateral lower extremity deep vein thromboses. His overall clinical presentation prompted a detailed hematologic workup that indicated positivity for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia despite no previous exposure to heparin products.
Conclusions: This case illustrates a patient with no prior lifetime heparin exposure who underwent laminectomy with subsequent development of acute infarcts of the bilateral frontal lobes, an inferior wall myocardial infarction, and bilateral lower extremity deep vein thromboses, with concern for sequelae of spontaneous heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.
