Abstract

Pulmonary thromboembolism is a pulmonary emergency. Isolated Hyperhomocysteinemia causing unprovoked pulmonary thromboembolism is a rare entity. Herein we present a 30-year-old man with multiple thromboembolic events without evidence of deep vein thrombosis. Extensive hypercoagulability workup was done which showed an elevated homocysteine level, with normal vitamin b12 and folate levels.
