Cryptogenic acute lower extremities and multiorgan ischemia in an 8-year-old girl
Pediatric acute limb ischemia is rare but can have devastating effects on children. The most common causes of acute limb ischemia in the pediatric age group are iatrogenic injury during cardiac catheterization and traumatic vessel injury. Embolic events have been described less often. We present the...

| description | Pediatric acute limb ischemia is rare but can have devastating effects on children. The most common causes of acute limb ischemia in the pediatric age group are iatrogenic injury during cardiac catheterization and traumatic vessel injury. Embolic events have been described less often. We present the case of an 8-year-old girl with cryptogenic extensive bilateral lower extremity ischemia and embolization to multiple visceral organs. Our findings have highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary workup, timely intervention, and the advantage of intraoperative imaging for revascularization. |
