ABSTRACT
Trousseau syndrome is the phenomenon in which an occult visceral malignancy is the underlying cause of an unexpected thrombotic event. Trousseau syndrome has a well-established association with advanced primary pancreatic and pulmonary malignancies and others like prostate, stomach, colon, and hematologic malignancies can be associated. Here we report a case from whose initial presentation we thought that it was stroke, but later she developed DVT in both legs and after investigation it was suspicious of carcinoma gall bladder.
Keywords: DVT- deep vein thrombosis, VTE- venous thromboembolism, trousseau syndrome.
