 Upper-extremity deep venous thrombosis (UEDVT) is an increasingly important
clinical problem in children. These events are classified as primary or secondary,
with the latter being the most common and usually associated with the presence of
a central venous line. Among primary UEDVT, the so-called Paget-Schroetter
syndrome, effort-related or exercise-induced upper-extremity thrombotic event
represents an extremely rare finding that has never been described in a pediatric
series. The objective of the second part of this two-part article is to report the first
pediatric series in a group of adolescents with this condition from a single center,
describing their clinical features, management, and outcome. A retrospective chart
review of 6 patients seen between December 2003 and April 2005 was conducted,
with a median follow-up of 9 months (range 2-17). Four females and two males, all
Caucasian, were enrolled with a median age of 16 years (range 14-17). In all cases,
strenuous exercise was present in the month preceding diagnosis and mild trauma
was present in only one case (weight lifting). At presentation, all patients had
objective swelling of the affected limb for a median of 4 days (range 2-14), and 4
patients had UEDVT of the dominant arm. Thrombophilia investigation revealed that
50% had a combined prothrombotic state at presentation, and all patients were/are
being treated with anticoagulation for 6 months (low-molecular-weight heparin
followed by warfarin). Continuation of the initial symptoms was present in all cases
but one at the 3-month clinic follow-up (last case has yet to reach 3 months of
follow-up), and residual moderate to severe postthrombotic syndrome was present
in all 3 cases followed for more than 12 months. Of those 3 patients followed for
more than 1 year, 2 patients recurred despite having complete resolution of the
thrombus after 6 months of anticoagulation, and the third patient underwent
surgery with clinical improvement. Adolescents with UEDVT treated only with
anticoagulation seem to have a poor outcome.

half of the oesophagus. In more advanced
disease, coalescent plaques may produce a
‘cobblestone’ appearance or, in severe cases
(usually in patients with AIDS), a grossly irregular
or shaggy oesophagus caused by extensive
plaque, pseudomembrane formation, intramural
haemorrhage and
ulcerations. In some cases, the disease can
present with mycetoma formation, which may
simulate an intramural neoplasm.
