Hillary Clinton's Blood Clot Treatment And The Need For Privacy By Dr. Marc Siegel FOX News Thursday, January 3, 2013

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's happy departure from Columbia Presbyterian Hospital the day after New Year's was
not shrouded in mystery - nor was it announced with great fanfare. This is as it should be. A powerful politician's health

is naturally of great interest to the public and can even serve as a learning tool for various diseases for other people at
risk for them. But keep in mind that these high-profile individuals are human beings who are entitled to their privacy,
and their physicians are bound by the same HIPPA laws that govern all medical details for all patients.

In fact Secretary Clinton's neurologist at Columbia, who I heard from yesterday, is a top national expert on strokes, brain
clots, bleeds, and head trauma. She couldn't be in better hands. Her condition, Right Transverse Sinus Thrombosis, is a

fancy term for a blood clot forming in one of the main sinuses (a drain) of the brain. This clot can lead to brain swelling
or a stroke, and it is certainly life threatening. However, in a situation where it is found incidentally and no symptoms
have been exhibited, the risk is less because the brain's venous system may have found another way to drain while the

clot is in the process of being dissolved.

It is the body itself which dissolves the clot, not the anti-coagulants (heparin followed by Coumadin), but the latter
prevent further clots from forming as the brain is healing. Now that Mrs. Clinton has been on blood thinners successfully
for a few days, her risk of a stroke or other serious complication has decreased dramatically.

She is going home because her blood tests are no doubt showing that her Coumadin dose is therapeutic.

Why did this clot in the brain occur in the first place? Studies have shown that head trauma, which followed Secretary
Clinton's faint a month ago, is one likely contributor, along with the dehydration that she probably suffered from a
gastrointestinal virus a month ago and the associated diarrhea. Though the mechanism of a clot in the leg is more

generally linked with immobility, there have been reports of venous clots in the brain occurring after prolonged sitting
on planes.

Since she suffered another blood clot in 1998, she now requires a hematological work-up to make sure she doesn't have
an underlying tendency to form blood clots in the first place - known as hypercoagulability. If she does have that
tendency, she will require a more prolonged or even permanent course of blood thinners, as well as an investigation to

 make sure there is no blood-thickening malignancy. This work-up cannot be completed until she is off Coumadin, which
 interferes with some of the results.

 Blood thinners are likely to be successful in Hillary Clinton's case, and she can look forward to a full recovery with the
 help of her careful devoted physicians. Her illness is a reminder to all of us in the media, journalist and physician alike,
 that health care is primarily a private matter, not a time for lurid interest and certainly not a time for political criticism.

 When it comes to celebrities and public leaders like Secretary Clinton, the urge to speculate and pontificate is high - but
 the high road is lined with respect and restraint.

 Dr. Marc Siegel is an associate professor of medicine and medical director of Doctor Radio at NYU Langone Medical

 Center. He is a member of the Fox News Medical A Team and author of The Inner Pulse: Unlocking the Secret Code of
 Sickness and Health.

Unlike all the other armchair doctors watching videos, this one came right from Huma discussing her diagnosed condition. And it is probably worse than most of the speculating.

Cavernous sinus thrombosis

Cavernous sinus thrombosis is a blood clot in an area at the base of the brain that contains a vein, which carries blood from the brain to the heart. This area is called the cavernous sinus.

I don't really see the big deal.  Huma is forwarding a public article referencing the publicly available information.  What am I missing?
