Central Venous Sinus Thrombosis in a Boy With Acute Severe Ulcerative Colitis. Front Pediatr. 2019 Feb 1;7:192296-2360http://hdl.handle.net/10668/13580Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) in childhood is uncommon. Certain diseases predispose patients to CVST, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which is considered a risk factor for developing thrombosis, which in turn is considered an extraintestinal manifestation of IBD. The use of prophylaxis in certain patients is a controversial topic. We present the case of a 5-years-old child with ulcerative colitis, who presented with transverse sinus thrombosis immediately after colectomy. Considering the recent recommendations on prophylaxis in this disease, our patient and probably many others would benefit from establishing treatment with low-molecular-weight heparin. We believe that these recommendations should be known, with our case serving as an example, given that we are heading in a direction that has so far been controversial.enAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST)Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT)Inflammatory bowel diseasePediatricsProphylaxisColitis, UlcerativeHeparin, Low Molecular WeightLateral Sinus ThrombosisInflammatory Bowel DiseasesDisease SusceptibilityColectomyresearch article30775357open accessColectomíaFactores de riesgoTrombosisHeparina de bajo peso molecularColitis ulcerosaEnfermedades inflamatorias del intestino10.3389/fped.2019.00019PMC6367252https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2019.00019/pdfhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6367252/pdf
