Popis: Thrombosis is the result of an imbalance between two complex systems: hemostasis and fibrinolysis. Although the incidence of thromboembolism is lower in children than in adults, the associated morbidity is clinically relevant. This paper summarizes the main risk factors, important to define effective strategies for primary thromboprophylaxis in children at risk, the diagnostic criteria and the optimal therapeutic approach, which, until now, have mostly been extrapolated from the adult’s recommendations.
