Abstract
Pulmonary embolism is a rare and underestimated pathology within the paediatric population. The diagnosis is often delayed in children and teenagers, potentially increasing paediatric morbidity and mortality. Specific paediatric risk factors may be detected. Diagnostic, treatment and follow-up guidelines only exist for adults but are currently applied to children. The purpose of this article is to discuss clinical signs, assessment and paediatric management. Further studies will be required in order to establish standard paediatric guidelines.
