[Pelvic and femoral vein thrombosis in childhood].
Deep venous thromboses in the lower extremities were observed in three boys aged 8, 10, and 12 years. In one case, it must have originated from circulatory depression during diabetic ketoacidosis. In two children, osteomyelitis was detected in the proximity; they developed septic pulmonary embolism. Osteomyelitis and septic arthritis as possible cause or consequence should be actively looked for in septic thromboembolism.
