Key result
Bladder squamous cell carcinoma was associated with multiple cerebral infarctions in a patient diagnosed with Trousseau's syndrome who received radiotherapy and anticoagulation.
This case report highlights the occurrence of Trousseau's syndrome (cancer-associated thrombosis presenting as multiple cerebral infarctions) in a patient with bladder squamous cell carcinoma.
Raises awareness for cerebrovascular events in bladder cancer; leaves open optimal anticoagulation strategies pending further evidence.
The association between thrombosis and cancer has been recognized since Trousseau's report in 1865. We present a case of bladder squamous cell carcinoma associated with multiple cerebral infarctions. This patient was diagnosed as having Trousseau's syndrome and received radiotherapy for bladder cancer treatment, along with anticoagulation therapy.
