Abstract
Background and purpose: Thrombophilia is a hypercoagulable state that predisposes to thrombosis. Several genetic risk factors have been shown to predispose to thromboembolic events. Homozygosity to a thrombophilic mutation certainly predisposes the affected patient to more serious symptoms. Materials and methods: Here we present a case of a 56-year-old male patient who underwent sleeve gastrectomy for morbid obesity, presenting to our institution with abdominal pain. Investigations revealed thrombosis of the splenic, axillary vein as well as the right pulmonary artery. The patient was found to have triple thrombophilic mutations. Results: To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of three specific simultaneous thrombophilic mutations in a patient from the Eastern Middle East. Conclusion: We suggest a role for screening for thrombophilic mutations in the Eastern Mediterranean patients undergoing bariatric surgeries for morbid obesity due to the increased risk of thrombosis in this group of patients
