Venous thromboembolic events are rare in pediatric patients. Risk factors associated with the development of venous thromboembolic events in pediatric patients include the use of central venous catheters, hospitalization, cancer, sepsis, trauma, surgery, and congenital prothrombotic disorders.The authors present the case of a 14-year-old man with Crouzon syndrome who required Le Fort III osteotomy with rigid external distraction for significant midface hypoplasia who presented postoperatively with an extensive deep venous thrombosis. This is the first reported case of symptomatic venous thrombosis post-Le Fort III osteotomy and rigid external distraction. Although rare, surgeons should be aware of this potential complication.

Effect of Antithrombin Leakage From Hemodialysis Therapy on Antithrombin Hemodynamics.
Cureus
December 2024
Clinical Laboratory Science, Graduate School of Medical Science, Kanazawa University, Kanazawa, JPN.
Introduction Hemodialysis (HD) therapy is a crucial treatment for patients with renal failure but can impact the hemodynamics of antithrombin (AT), a protein essential for regulating hemostasis and preventing thrombosis. Reduced AT activity can lead to thrombus formation at unusual sites and increase the risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism. The loss of AT during HD or hemodiafiltration (HDF) through leakage or adsorption onto dialysis membranes has not been fully investigated, and its effects on AT hemodynamics remain unclear.

Background: Reduced-dose anticoagulant therapy for extended treatment of cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (VTE) has been used to avoid bleeding. However, it may increase the risk of recurrent VTE.
Objectives: To study the rate of recurrent VTE and bleeding complications in Thai patients with cancer-associated VTE who were treated with full-dos/e or reduced-dose anticoagulants.
Iatrogenic intracranial hypotension complicated to dural venous sinus thrombosis and lobar hemorrhage: A case report.
Radiol Case Rep
March 2025
Resident at Radiology Department, French Medical Institute for Mothers and Children (FMIC), Kabul, Afghanistan.
Iatrogenic intracranial hypotension is a known complication of spinal anesthesia that can lead to more severe conditions, such as dural or cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). This report presents a case of intracranial hypotension in a young woman after lumbar anesthesia for a cesarean section that was complicated by CVST and subsequently by lobar hemorrhage, clinically presenting with severe headache and seizures. The diagnosis was made via cerebral magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and the patient was treated medically.

Introduction: Thyrotoxicosis is associated with a hypercoagulable state, increasing the risk of thrombotic events like CVST. Literature review reveals thyroid hormone's role in promoting prothrombotic abnormalities, impacting coagulation factors and platelet function.
Case Report: This study explores the rare occurrence of thyroid storm complicated by deep cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) in a young male with no prior history of thyroid disease.
