OLIVARES ORTIZ, J.; BOTIJA ARCOS, G.; RUPEREZ LUCAS, M. e CANO DORAO, F.. Pulmonary thromboembolism: a not so unexpected diagnosis. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2014, vol.16, n.63, pp.219-223. ISSN 1139-7632. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1139-76322014000400006.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) in childhood is uncommon and clinically variable. It is related to at least one risk factor (central venous catheter, bleeding disorders, trauma, surgery, malignancy or treatment with oral contraceptives). The symptoms of pulmonary embolism are variable and nonspecific. The goals of treatment are to prevent embolization and minimize complications. Due to the severity of VTE complications, we must be aware of this possible diagnosis in a patient with risk factors.
