Some hematological diseases can benefit from splenectomy for either diagnosis or treatment. When dealing with patients with thalassemia, splenectomy is a common therapeutic option, particularly indicated when the patient has increased transfusion demand, symptomatic splenomegaly or any signs of poor health, leucopenia, and thrombocytopenia.1 However, splenectomy can lead to thromboembolic events, particularly in splenectomized patients with thalassemia intermedia.1,2 Thromboembolic complications in splenectomized patients with complex hemoglobin diseases are seldom reported due to the rarity of these conditions. We therefore report a case of a woman with hemoglobin (Hb) C/ 0-thalassemia and recurrent venous thromboembolism after splenectomy. The patient and all family members signed a consent form.
