A Case of Left Ventricular Thrombus with Superior Mesenteric Vein Thrombosis Due to Atopic Dermatitis.

A 55-year-old man was presented to the emergency room because of abdominal pain for 4 days. He had a history of atopic dermatitis. Left ventricular (LV) asynergy and thrombus was detected on echocardiography, and superior mesenteric vein thrombosis was detected by computed tomography. There are no reported cases of this combination of thrombi. We hypothesized that the reason for this complication is the combination of coagulation disorder due to atopic dermatitis, silent myocardial infarction, and exacerbation of the coagulation abnormality due to bacteremia, leading to superior mesenteric vein and LV thrombosis. Atopic dermatitis that has potential risk factors of thrombus with sepsis could provoke thrombophilic state. Atopic dermatitis is a common disease, but continuous medical care is essential.
