title: [Renal vein thrombosis and constitutional protein S deficiency].
abstract: Venous and arterial thrombosis due to a constitutional protein S deficiency is well-known. We report the case of a 36 year-old patient admitted to hospital in 1991 for primary renal vein thrombosis due to a constitutional protein S deficiency of type I. The diagnosis was made by CT scan and angiography. Left nephrectomy, which was made because of doubt with regard to subjacent neoplasm, showed left renal vein thrombosis and multiple renal infarcts. In 1994, after 4 months of discontinuation of oral anticoagulants, the patient presented pulmonary embolism documented by pulmonary scintigraphy and CT scan, partial portal thrombosis and sural thrombophlebitis documented by echography coupled with Doppler. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a constitutional protein S deficiency associated with primary renal vein thrombosis.
