Resumen
Introducción

Presentamos el caso de una trombosis venosa profunda en un paciente pediátrico como complicación de un aneurisma venoso congénito.

Caso clínico

Paciente de diez meses de edad que presenta un edema rizomélico del miembro inferior izquierdo y sospecha clínica de trombosis venosa profunda. El estudio con eco-Doppler color confirmó el diagnóstico, pero como complicación de un aneurisma venoso fusiforme congénito. Se instauró un tratamiento anticoagulante con heparina de bajo peso molecular y terapia compresiva con mejoría progresiva del cuadro clínico y ausencia de sintomatología o semiología torácica. Se constató mediante ecografía la recanalización parcial del trombo al mes y casi total a los tres meses del seguimiento; a los seis meses había desaparecido el edema ortostático.

Conclusión

A pesar de la falta de evidencia científica por lo excepcional del caso clínico comentado, en los casos de aneurisma venoso complicado con un episodio de trombosis venosa profunda consideramos razonable seguir un tratamiento conservador, más aún en casos pediátricos.

Summary
Introduction

We describe a case of deep vein thrombosis in a paediatric patient as a complication of a congenital venous aneurysm.

Case report

A ten-month-old patient who presented a rhizomelic oedema in the left lower limb and clinical suspicion of deep vein thrombosis. Colour Doppler ultrasound scanning confirmed the diagnosis, but as a complication of a congenital fusiform venous aneurysm. Anticoagulant treatment was established with low-molecular-weight heparin and compressive therapy; there was a progressive improvement in the clinical picture and absence of thoracic signs or symptoms. Ultrasound imaging confirmed partial recanalisation of the thrombus at one month, which had become almost total at three months' follow-up; at six months the orthostatic oedema had disappeared.

Conclusions

Despite the lack of scientific evidence because of the singularity of the case reported here, when faced with a venous aneurysm complicated by an episode of deep vein thrombosis, we consider it reasonable to follow a conservative treatment, and even more so in the case of paediatric patients.
