We present a case of a probably unnecessary Caesarean section due to misinterpretation of the cardiotocography (CTG) trace during general anaesthesia. A 27-yr-old patient in her 30th week of an uneventful, normal first pregnancy presented with a deep venous thrombosis in the pelvic region. She was to undergo an emergency thrombectomy under general anaesthesia. During the operation, the CTG show...

The incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) during childhood is low with two peaks - neonatal and adolescent age. This retrospective study is focused on clinical characteristics ofVTE during adolescence. The main goals are to assess the most frequent inherited and acquired risk factors and to evaluate the benefit of D-dimers in diagnostics of venous thromboemblism. The data of 18 adolescents ...

Both coagulopathy and abnormal thrombosis can complicate the anesthetic and surgical management of neonatal patients; however, the patterns of bleeding and thrombosis in neonates differ from those in adults or older children. Severe coagulopathic bleeding most commonly occurs during heart surgery and almost certainly contributes to morbidity and mortality in this population. Such severe bleedin...

Thrombosis of the renal vein was first described by Rayer in 1837. This was followed in 1877 by Hutinel's account of forty-two cases of renal thrombosis, in thirty of which the condition was bilateral. Abeshouse (1945), in reviewing 228 cases of renal thrombosis of all varieties, found ninetyeight of these in children less than a year old, and of this total ninety occurred in infants during the...
