Six cases of neurological complications of essential thrombocythemia are reported. Five were ischemic strokes and the clinical expression was heterogenous (transient ischemic attacks or completed strokes), in vertebro-basilar or carotid areas. There was no correlation between the nervous disorders and the severity of the thrombocythemia. In the last case, the patient presented with papillitis and peripheral neuropathy, and the relationship with thrombocythemia was not clear. It is suggested that thrombocythemia may directly induce an arterial or venous thrombosis or increase the severity of ischemic strokes of atheromatous origin.

D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D010211	Papilledema	Swelling of the OPTIC DISK, usually in association with increased intracranial pressure, characterized by hyperemia, blurring of the disk margins, microhemorrhages, blind spot enlargement, and engorgement of retinal veins. Chronic papilledema may cause OPTIC ATROPHY and visual loss.

D002546	Ischemic Attack, Transient	Brief reversible episodes of focal, nonconvulsive ischemic dysfunction of the brain having a duration of less than 24 hours, and usually less than one hour, caused by transient thrombotic or embolic blood vessel occlusion or stenosis. Events may be classified by arterial distribution, temporal pattern, or etiology (e.g., embolic vs. thrombotic).
