Marzia Cottini, Amedeo Pergolini, Francesco Terrieri and Cesare Beghi

Neurodegenerative diseases are defined as hereditary or acquired conditions which are characterized by progressive nervous system dysfunction. They include diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementias, Huntington’s Disease, and so on. We report a case of 59-years-old man with Huntington Chorea admitted to our department for dyspnoea in massive pulmonary embolism due to a migration of a part of thrombus from deep venous thrombosis situs. He had recent history of pneumonia and severe hypomobility, and the thrombophilic screening showed a deficiency of C protein and S protein. While the diagnostic workup had been done, we discovered severe coronary disease, patent foramen ovale and paradoxical embolism.
