title: An adolescent with lower-extremity swelling.
abstract: Lower-extremity swelling is an uncommon presentation in a pediatric emergency department. Deep venous thrombosis is one of the common differential diagnoses in a patient with an underlying predisposing factor. We report a case of a previously healthy adolescent without any risk factor for thromboembolism presented with deep venous thrombosis. The pertinent literature is reviewed.
