Abstract


Kasabach Merritt syndrome is defined by clinical and biological association of a purplish-red vascular tumor rapidly extensive, thrombocytopenia, a variable degree of disseminated intravascular coagulation and sometimes anemia. It usually occurs in neonates and infants less than 6 months, sometimes in utero. The imaging can confirm the diagnosis and search for deep locations. This syndrome can be life-threatening by the risk of bleeding, coagulopathy, thrombosis, compression and heart failure. The therapeutic management should be early, multidisciplinary adapting therapeutic benefits to risks in order to improve the prognosis. We report a case of Kasabach Merritt syndrome, we insist through a literature review of diagnostic, therapeutic and evolutionary difficulties.

Abstract: (french)


Le syndrome de Kasabach Merritt est un syndrome clinico-biologique défini par l'association d'une tumeur vasculaire rouge-violacée, rapidement extensive, d'une thrombopénie, d'un degré variable de coagulation intra-vasculaire disséminée et parfois d'une anémie. Il survient habituellement chez le nouveau-né et nourrisson de moins de 6 mois, parfois in utero. L'imagerie permet de confirmer le diagnostic et de rechercher des localisations profondes. Ce syndrome peut menacer le pronostic vital par le risque d'hémorragie, coagulopathie, thrombose, compression et défaillance cardiaque. La prise en charge thérapeutique doit être précoce, multidisciplinaire adaptant les bénéfices aux risques thérapeutiques afin d'améliorer le pronostic. Nous rapportons un nouveau cas de syndrome de Kasabach Merritt, nous insisterons à travers une revue de littérature sur les difficultés diagnostiques, thérapeutiques et évolutives.
