Aggressive imaging in young children on antithrombotic therapy with minor traumatic head injury

According to Dutch guidelines, vomiting is a criterion to perform a head CT-scan in children two years and older. Other medical conditions associated with VTE in children include malignancies, inflammatory bowel disease, neuromuscular disease, trauma, surgery and/or vascular malformations [5,6,10,11]. [...]with a growing number of children surviving with chronic medical conditions requiring antithrombotic therapy, we expect more children on antithrombotic therapy that may present at the emergency departments with MTHIs. [...]children using antithrombotic therapy constitute a high-risk patient group for intracranial bleeding after MTHI.
