Abstract

Pulmonary embolism is an uncommon diagnosis in the pediatric patient, often discovered on autopsy. The mortality rate of untreated pulmonary embolism approaches 30%, and the best way to prevent death is by swift diagnosis and initiation of therapy. This article reviews the risk factors, clinical presentation, pathophysiology, diagnostic modalities, and treatment of pulmonary embolism in children.
