| contents | <p>Malignancy is an established risk factor for thromboembolism. Various chemotherapeutic agents increase the risk of venous and arterial thromboembolism. Though venous thromboembolism has been reported, arterial thrombosis is not widely described in the literature. Patient with cervical cancer treated with cisplatin-based concurrent radiation-chemotherapy diagnosed with arterial thrombosis has not yet been reported. We report two cases of acute mesenteric and celiac arterial thrombosis. Often the unusual complications like arterial thrombosis go undetected or get delayed resulting in a poor prognosis. Arterial thrombosis can be life-threatening, and prompt diagnosis is important to start timely, adequate treatment. The treating physician should have a high level of clinical suspicion and a low threshold for imaging so that early diagnosis of vascular complications in carcinoma cervix patients getting cisplatin-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy can be done.</p> |
