Paediatric central venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is an uncommon but important life-threatening complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). As the incidence of IBD has increased in the last four decades, paediatricians need to be aware of this complication. There is currently no consensus on when children with IBD should receive prophylactic anticoagulation. We present the case of a young girl with ulcerative colitis who suffered an acute ischaemic event secondary to a CVST during an acute flare of her disease. We aim to bring awareness to CVST in IBD due to its high risk of morbidity and mortality.
小儿中央静脉窦血栓形成(CVST)是炎症性肠病(IBD)的一种罕见但严重的危及生命的并发症。在过去四十年中,IBD 的发病率有所增加,儿科医生需要意识到这种并发症。目前,对于何时应预防性抗凝治疗 IBD 患儿尚未达成共识。我们报告了一例溃疡性结肠炎患儿的病例,该患儿在疾病急性发作期间发生 CVST 导致急性缺血性事件。我们旨在提高对 IBD 中 CVST 的认识,因为它具有很高的发病率和死亡率。
