摘要：
We describe a 6-year-old girl with Epstein-Barr virus-related hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis who developed inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis during chemotherapy. Treatment with an anticoagulant, thrombolytic agent and short-term placement of an IVC filter was followed by complete resolution. Pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy performed subsequently revealed no evidence of pulmonary embolism. We conclude that temporary placement of an IVC filter can be an important part of the treatment of IVC thrombosis in children.
