A rare delayed onset of esophageal varices and portal vein thrombosis in a ten-year-old patient following umbilical vein catheterization
CONCLUSION: This case highlights pediatric PVT, emphasizing the need for a collaborative approach among gastroenterologists, hematologists, and geneticists. Further research is required to understand PVT mechanisms and long-term implications, aiding in diagnosis and management, especially when it appears in late childhood. Evaluation is crucial in deciphering thrombophilia-related complications in the context of hypertension.PMID:38463113 | PMC:PMC10923273 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001588
