Key result
Case report links factor V Leiden and concurrent risk factors to lower limb DVT.
Why the study?
Very few cases of deep vein thrombosis with multiple high risk etiological factors have been reported.
Population
A 43-year-old female with lower limb DVT and multiple risk factors including appendicitis, morbid obesity, and factor V Leiden mutation

Emphasizes multifactorial DVT etiology in case reports; leaves open whether routine thrombophilia workup improves recurrence prevention.
Case Report (n=1)
A complete workup for hypercoagulable states is important in patients with DVT to identify multiple etiological factors, which can guide diagnosis, therapy, and prevention of recurrence.
Miao et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Deep vein thrombosis (n=1). Multiple etiological factors (appendectomy, morbid obesity, immobilization, positive phosphatidylserine IgG, factor V Leiden mutation) was evaluated on Deep vein thrombosis. A 43-year-old female developed lower limb deep vein thrombosis associated with multiple concurrent risk factors including recent appendectomy, morbid obesity, immobilization, and factor V Leiden mutation.
