Characteristics of pain, other symptoms and function in pediatric post‐thrombotic syndrome

Symptoms and function in pediatric post‐thrombotic syndrome (PTS) remain poorly characterized. Clinical features of PTS were studied in 78 children with history of limb deep vein thrombosis. Tired limb, heaviness, pain, and impaired endurance were the most frequent clinical findings. Frequency of symptoms and of impaired endurance were similar in upper and lower extremities. Pain was associated with the presence of other symptoms and impaired function.
