Internal jugular vein thrombosis complicating disseminated tuberculosis in a 2-year-old child

Internal jugular vein (IJV) thrombosis is a serious and potentially life-threatening occurrence in children, and is usually associated with malignancies, prolonged central venous catheterisation or deep seated head and neck infections or trauma. It has not been described in association with tuberculosis in children. The authors describe a 2-year-old child who presented with IJV thrombosis in association with clinical signs and symptoms of disseminated tuberculosis. There was complete resolution of symptoms after starting antitubercular drugs and warfarin. The authors emphasise that an active search for tuberculosis should be made routinely in patients with IJV thrombosis with an underlying mediastinal mass and/or generalised lymphadenopathy.

“…Other reports also demonstrate that thrombotic phenomena in patients with pulmonary TB occur in other sites. These may include hepatic veins 8 However, thrombosis can also result from venous compression by lymph nodes in ganglionar forms of TB, as retroperitoneal adenopathies may cause inferior vena cava thrombosis in the absence of any haemostatic abnormalities 6 . These haemostatic changes improve during the first month of ATT 10 and for this reason, it should be immediately started in addition to anticoagulant therapy.…”

Introduction: Tuberculosis remains an infectious disease with a high prevalence worldwide and represents a major public health issue, especially in our subcontinent. Although venous thromboembolism is a rare complication of this disease, it may be a potentially life threatening event.Case presentation: We report a case of a 43 years male who was diagnosed as a case of pulmonary tuberculosis with tubercular pericardial effusion, developed deep venous thrombosis later in the course of the diseaseConclusion: An association between inflammation induced by tuberculosis and a hypercoagulable state has been described. Therefore, the occurrence of deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolic episodes should be considered in patients with tuberculosis particularly during the first weeks of treatment. The physician's awareness of these phenomena is important to an early diagnostic suspicion and prompt treatment in order to prevent fatal outcomes.KYAMC Journal Vol. 6, No.-1, Jul 2015, Page 598-600
