We describe a rare case of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in children, highlight the importance of early diagnosis of rare disease with potential complications. In a 5 year old boy presented with persistent leg pain without any obvious cause. Detailed investigation led to diagnosis of DVT. As there are common differential diagnoses for leg pain in children, pediatricians usually have a low index of suspicious of DVT in children. This case highlight that paediatricians must consider DVT in their differential diagnosis when children present with leg pain.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is uncommon in children. We describe a case of DVT in children, highlighting importance of early diagnosis of rare disease. Here we report a case of 10-year-old boy presented with persistent pain and swelling of the left thigh. Detailed investigations led to diagnosis of DVT.

Recurrent deep vein thrarbosis must be differentiated from other causes of leg pain, swelling and inflammation, including chronic venous insufficiency or the postphlebitic stasis syndrome. Venous obstruction and/or valvular incompetence was evaluated by Dcppler ultrasound in 229 patients with recurrent leg symptoms following one or more prior episodes of clinical deep vein thrombosis. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the Dcppler technique was 96% and 90%, respectively, in 259 consecutive contrast phlebograms. In a subset of 65 patients with abnormal Dcppler examination, I-125 fibrinogen leg scans were performed prior to institution of anticoagulants in order to establish the diagnosis of recurrent active thrarbosis (positive scan) or inactive postphlebitic disease (negative sca.In the 229 symptomatic patients screened, the Dcppler examination was normal in 87 (38.0%). In 65 patients with abnormal deep veins receiving I-125 fibrinogen, leg scans were positive in 25 (38.5%), suggesting active thrarbosis which was treated by anticoagulants. The remaining 40 patients were treated for the postphlebitic syndrome with leg elevation and elastic support and none developed manife stations of venous thrarboerrbolism.This study suggests that many individuals (38%) with suspected recurrent deep vein thrarbosis have normal leg veins and that the majority (62%) of patients with proven venous abnormalities have inactive (postphlebitic) disease which does not require anti coagulation.

Kidney and inferior vena cava (IVC) abnormalities with extensive deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a very rare cause of DVT and has a diverse clinical presentation. Computed tomography (CT) angiography is the gold standard for diagnosis and treatment including thrombectomy, thrombolysis and systemic anticoagulation. We present a rare case of active young healthy male admitted with acute onset of right lower extremity pain and swelling who was found to have extensive DVT on doppler ultrasound. CT abdomen showed extensive clot burden involving right common femoral vein extending into internal and external iliac veins associated with IVC hypoplasia and hypoplastic left kidney. Patient underwent urgent thrombectomy, catheter directed thrombolysis and was discharged home in stable condition on oral anticoagulation.
