Abstract

VARGAS DIAZ, José et al. Senovenous thromboses in children: clinic, diagnosis and treatment. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2008, vol.80, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3119.

In spite of the fact that senovenous thromboses are more frequent than in the adults, and specially common in the neonates, they are little recognized in children. They are a cause of death or of neurological sequelae in an important group of cases. The development and availability of diverse non-invasive imaging techniques have increased the number of diagnosed cases, which has allowed to have a better knowledge of their risk factors, clinical expression and treatment. This treatment in children is still empiric, but there are ongoing investigations that should clear up in a near future the risks-benefits relation of each treatment modality and, particularly, of the use of anticoagulants in children.

Keywords : Brain venous thrombosis; senovenous thrombosis; infantile cerebrovascular disease; venous infarction.
