Abstract

Objective: The diagnosis and treatment of chronic venous disease has been well standardized in adults. However, the diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency in pediatric patients, except for Klippel- Trénaunay syndrome and post-thrombotic syndrome, could not be established. In this retrospective study, we planned to present pediatric patients diagnosed with venous insufficiency by our clinic. Methods: Between January 2016 and May 2018, patients under 18 years of age who were referred to our clinic were included in this study. Venous Doppler ultrasonography was performed in patients and reflux in deep and superficial veins was evaluated. The reflux time is simply duration of inverse flow. A reflux time of >500 ms was used to define the valve insufficiency of the superficial and perforating veins. A reflux time of >1 s was used to define the valve insufficiency of the deep venous system. Venous reflux parameters were compared using t-test. Results: Twenty-five patients were identified in this study. The mean age of the patients was 12 (4-17) years. As a result of clinical examination, 11 patients had varicose venous or venous malformation, 9 patients had swelling (pedal edema), and 6 patients had edema or venous ulcer. Two patients had normal examination findings. Chronic inflammation, hyperpigmentation was not present. No venous thrombomboemboli story was available in any patient. Conclusion: The uncertainty of the factors that cause venous reflux in children still maintains itself today. However, this uncertainty will continue for a long time as the methods used in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic venous disease are the same in both adults and children.

Özet

Amaç: Kronik venöz hastalığın tanısı ve tedavisi, yetişkinlerde iyi standardize edilmiştir. Fakat çocuk hastalarda Klippel-Trénaunay sendromu ve post-trombotik sendrom haricinde haricinde kronik venöz yetmezliğin tanısı tam oluşturulamamıştır. Bu retrospektif çalışmamızda kliniğimiz tarafından venöz yetmezlik tanısı alan çocuk hastaları sunmayı planladık. Yöntemler: 2016 Ocak ile 2018 Mayıs tarihleri arasında kliniğimize konsülte edilen 18 yaş altındaki hastalar bu çalışmaya dahil edildi. Venöz Doppler ultrasonografi hastalara yapılarak derin ve yüzeyel venlerde reflü değerlendirildi. Reflü süresi basitçe ters akış süresi. Yüzeyel ve perforan venlerin kapak yetersizliğini tanımlamak için bir reflü süresi >500 ms kullanıldı. Derin venöz sistemin kapak yetersizliğini tanımlamak için >1 saniyede bir geri akış süresi kullanıldı. Venöz reflü parametreleri t-testi kullanılarak karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Bu çalışmamızda 25 hasta tespit edildi. Hastaların ortalama yaşları 12 (4-17) idi. Hastalara yapılan klinik muayene sonucunda: 11 hastada variköz ven veya venöz malformasyon, 9 hastada şişlik (pedal ödem) ve 6 hastada ödem veya ödeme eşlik eden venöz ülser vardı. İki hastada normal muayene bulguları vardı. Kronik enflamasyon, hiperpigmentasyon mevcut değildi. Hiçbir hastada venöz trombomboemboli hikayesi mevcut değildi. Sonuç: Çocuklarda venöz reflüye neden olan etkenlerin belirsizliği günümüzde de kendini korumaktadır. Bununla birlikte, kronik venöz hastalık tanısı ve tedavisinde kullanılan yöntemlerin erişkin ve çocuklarda aynı olması nedeniyle bu belirsizlik uzunca bir süre devam edecektir.
