[Dyspnea caused by spontaneous hematoma of the oropharynx and larynx during marcumar therapy]. HNO, 2001, Volume: 49, Issue:3 A patient with a history of tachycardiac atrial fibrillation and pulmonary embolism was admitted to the emergency unit with acute shortness of breath. The patient was on coumarin medication. Pulmonary embolism, heart failure, or pulmonary edema could be ruled out. Laryngoscopy revealed a huge hematoma of both valleculae extending to the lateral pharyngeal wall and the epiglottis. The epiglottic cartilage was displaced to the posterior pharyngeal wall. The INR was > 6. Prothrombin complex, vitamin K1, corticoids, and fresh frozen plasma were administered immediately. The patient was monitored--without tracheotomy--in the intensive care unit and received oxygen. In a patient with dyspnea, impaired ventilation has to be considered besides impaired perfusion or diffusion.

[Isolated thrombosis of the vena profunda femoris as the source of embolisms. A diagnosis easy to supply using duplex sonography]. Deutsche medizinische Wochenschrift (1946), 1999, Jun-25, Volume: 124, Issue:25-26 A 79-year old man was admitted because of increasing dyspnoea. At physical examination he had dyspnoea at rest, auscultation of the lung was unremarkable and there was no peripheral oedema or unilateral swelling of a leg to suggest venous thrombosis.. Chest radiogram was unremarkable. Perfusion scintigraphy of the lung, performed to exclude pulmonary embolism, revealed several defects typical of emboli. Duplex sonography revealed an isolated thrombosis of the left profunda femoris vein, while the deep veins were patent.. Anticoagulation with heparin followed by phenprocoumon rapidly improved the symptoms and the patient was discharged after 10 days.. Thrombosis of the profunda femoris vein can cause clinically relevant pulmonary embolism. While this vessel cannot be visualized by phlebography, duplex sonography easily establishes the diagnosis and should be used routinely in the investigation of suspected thrombosis of the leg veins.
