Chronic Intravascular Coagulation Syndrome

Abstract
In a patient with a chronic intravascular coagulation syndrome characterized by depletion of fibrinogen and platelets, participation of other clotting factors or secondary fibrinolysis were not demonstrable. Heparin was effective in controlling the syndrome, which was evident 10 months before discovery of a primary ovarian carcinoma. Warfarin did not prevent thrombotic complications.
