Femoral artery thrombosis is a rare complication of intramuscular (IM) injection in children. A 12-month-old boy presented with right lower limb ischemia and digital gangrene 3 days after an injection of ceftriaxone administered to his medial aspect of the right thigh. Successful thrombolysis and partial limb salvage was possible with enoxaparin despite a late presentation. Unnecessary and unsafe IM injection in community practice might lead to such devastating outcome which should be avoided.
股动脉血栓形成是儿童肌肉注射罕见的并发症。一名12个月大的男孩在右大腿内侧注射头孢曲松3天后出现右下肢缺血和手指坏疽。尽管就诊较晚,但使用依诺肝素成功进行了溶栓并部分挽救了肢体。社区医疗中不必要且不安全的肌肉注射可能导致这种灾难性后果,应予以避免。
