Cerebral hemorrhagic infarction as the initial manifestation of deep venous thrombosis in a child with patent foramen ovale

Abstract: Arterial ischemic stroke (AIS), with an estimated incidence of 1.1–4.3 per 100,000, is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children and the risk of recurrence is high. We present the case of an 11-year-old child who presented with a symptomatology of acute ischemic stroke of unknown etiology. The radiological investigation did not reveal any underlying brain abnormality that could cause the event. The diagnostic work up included an echocardiogram, which revealed a thrombus in the right atrium, in … Show more

“…Subsequent investigations uncovered a thrombus in the right atrium, along with a PFO, pulmonary embolism, and deep venous thrombosis (DVT). The PE stemming from DVT through the PFO was identified as the underlying causal mechanism [37]. Filippi et al presented a scenario of PE in a premature infant with central venous catheter-related DVT, where bilateral intraventricular clots were confirmed via neuroradiological assessment [38].…”

“… 2 Compared with conventional CT, spiral CT can perform volume scanning in a short period of time, reduce the artifacts caused by motion of patients, and significantly improve the spatial resolution and density resolution, so that early detection of diseased patients. 3 , 4 This review intends to briefly introduce the CT imaging features of cerebral infarction, to explore the effectiveness of the CT examination in promoting the physical function restoration.…”
