Abstract

The thrombotic events occurring in patients with inflammatory bowel disease are currently recognized as a form of extraintestinal manifestation of the disease. We present the case of a 35-year-old Caucasian male with inflammatory bowel disease and deep vein thrombosis, drawing attention to the particularities of the venous thrombotic events in this category of patients: high thrombotic risk, peak incidence at young age, high risk of recurrence. We state the correct anticoagulant treatment based on current evidence and guidelines recommendations, highlighting the importance of a careful assessment of both the thrombotic and hemorrhagic risk of the patient. Special attention has been paid to the new oral anticoagulants and to the latest recommendations of specialized guidelines.
