Epidemiology and outcomes of clinically unsuspected venous thromboembolism in children: A systematic review

Clinically unsuspected venous thromboembolic events (uVTE) detected during routine imaging pose a management challenge due to limited knowledge about their clinical significance. Unsuspected VTE are often referred as “asymptomatic,” “incidental,” or “clinically silent/occult” VTE.
