    Localized intravascular coagulopathy (LIC) is a common complication in pediatric venous malformations (VMs), affecting 44.8% of studied patients.

  • 2

    LIC severity correlates directly with lesion burden, with all severe cases occurring in extensive VMs involving two or more joint planes.

  • 3

    Sclerotherapy is the primary intervention for managing LIC, while low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) is used as an adjuvant therapy.

  • 4

    No significant associations were found between LIC occurrence or severity and demographic factors such as sex, age, or anatomic location.

  • 5

    Routine screening for occult VMs is recommended in cases of unexplained pediatric coagulopathy to optimize clinical management.
