Diagnosis and therapy in children with lymphoedema.

Phlebology - 1 Jan 2008

Damstra R J, Mortimer P S

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Lymphoedema (LE) is a disorder characterized by persistent swelling caused by impaired lymphatic drainage because of various aetiologies, including lymphatic injury and congenital functional or anatomical defects. OBJECTIVE: Literature review and expert opinion about diagnosis and treatment of LE in children. RESULTS: LE is rare in children, with a prevalence of about 1.15/100,000 persons, 20 years...
