Upper extremity arterial thrombus presenting at birth
We report a 36-week neonate born to a 31-year-old G2P0 woman by emergency c-section due to decreased fetal movement. The pregnancy had been uncomplicated up to that point and the mother had no significant medical history. Birth weight was 2.49 kg. Apgars were 6 and 5. Superficial skin loss and dark blue discolouration were noted along the left upper extremity and hand immediately after delivery. Fluid resuscitation and sterile saline wraps slowly improved perfusion, and the extremity pinked up over the subsequent 3 h (figure 1). She was transferred to an appropriate outside facility where Doppler ultrasound revea...

Venous thromboembolism in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Abstract Venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurs in 0.95–36 % of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia almost exclusively during chemotherapy. It is most commonly associated with concurrent l-asparaginase and steroid therapy, central venous line use, and inherited thrombophilia. Clinical manifestations regarding the location of VTE include central nervous system thrombosis (sinus venous thrombosis, cerebral infarct/stroke), upper-/lower-limb deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and right atrial/intracardiac and superficial venous thrombosis and can be both symptomatic and asymptomatic. The majority of ...
