Disseminated intravascular coagulation in association with congenital neuroblastoma.

Coagulation Abnormalities in Pediatric Patients with Congenital Heart Disease: A Literature Review

 It has been recognized that patients with Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease (CCHD) show significant bleeding tendency which can be secondary to coagulopathies in these patients. Some coagulation abnormalities are thrombocytopenia, factor deficiencies, fibrinolysis and Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation  (DIC). According to high prevalence of CCHD and major operations in theses patients, th...

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation in a Case of Brucellosis Misdiagnosed as Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia Purpura

Neonatal intrathoracic neuroblastoma: unusual presentation with haemothorax

Thoracic neuroblastomas are rare in the neonatal period. They may be asymptomatic or cause respiratory distress. Congenital haemothorax present at birth, as the result of intravascular disseminated coagulopathy, is an uncommon initial presentation of intrathoracic neuroblastomas.

Primary Intrarenal Neuroblastoma with Hypertension and Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation

The primary intrarenal neuroblastoma (IRNB) is a rare condition. Intrarenal neuroblastoma typically results from direct renal invasion from an adrenal neuroblastoma, but true intrarenal neuroblastoma originates either sequestered adrenal rests during the fetal life or intrarenal sympathetic ganglia. Clinical, radiological, and pathological correlation is very essential for diagnosis and appropr...

Plasma Fibrinogen and D-dimer in Children With Sepsis: A Single-center Experience

Background & Objectives:  In sepsis, enhanced fibrin formation, impaired fibrin degradation, and intravascular fibrin deposition lead to a prothrombotic state. The current study aimed at measuring various coagulation parameters to predict an early marker for disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Methods: The current prospective s...
