Abstract
Tousseau Syndrome is regarded as a paraneoplasic syndrome characterized by thrombotic events, both arterial and venous occlusions, which can be originated after the development of a neoplasic disease or as a premonitory sign of the existence of a hidden cancer. The presence of thrombotic idiopathic events must warn us about the possible neoplasic suspect. A series of diagnostical studies are advisable in these circumstances, such tumoral markers and abdomino-pelvical ultrasound scan. This syndrome involves a bad prognosis in the evolution of the neoplasic process, especially in cases of arterial thrombosis. In spite of its clinical relevance, high incidence of new neoplasias and an ill-fated prognosis, this pathology continues to be unknown enough. In this revision its fisiopathology, the therapeutic antithrombotic treatment, and the risk predictive models are discussed, emphasizing the necessity of new research studies for a bigger understanding of this syndrome.
