Acute osteoarticular infections are common in children and rarely complicated with deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This complication can cause significant morbidity and may even be fatal. Herein we report a fourteen year boy presenting with left knee pain and fever since 1 week with acute onset shortness of breath on day of admission. A left lower extremity venous doppler showed deep vein thrombosis of left popliteal vein. MRI knee suggestive of osteomyelitis of left tibia. High-Resolution Computed Tomography showed multiple patchy areas of consolidation with cavitations suggestive of septic emboli. He required prolonged hospital admission and was managed with surgical debridement, antibiotics and anticoagulation.References
