| Summary: | Introduction: Cushing’s syndrome is associated with multiple complications, among which thromboembolic disease is relatively frequent and contributes substantially to morbidity and mortality.
Objectives: Conduct a review of the topic based on a clinical case.
Methodology: A clinical case was presented, from which a review of the epidemiological and pathophysiological aspects was conducted; finally, a proposal for the management of venous thromboembolic disease based on available evidence in the medical literature was put forward.
Conclusions: Cushing’s syndrome is associated with a high risk of thromboembolic events. Adequate management with thromboprophylaxis and anticoagulation as well as non-pharmacological measures are required to avoid complications in those affected. |
