title: Pulmonary thromboembolism associated with pulmonary venous thrombus: a paediatric case report.
abstract: In this paper we present a young female patient who was admitted to the emergency unit with sudden chest pain, palpitations, and shortness of breath followed by syncope, and was diagnosed with pulmonary thromboemboli (PTE) by multislice spiral computed tomography. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first case in the literature of PTE accompanied by pulmonary thromboses with pulmonary venous thrombosis without surgery, trauma and malignancy.
