    Author: Haahr V, Jacobsen E, Bendix K, Nielsen JL, Peterslund NA.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 1994 Oct 10; 156(41):6011-4. PubMed ID: 7992439.
    Abstract:
    Kasabach Merritt syndrome, first recognized in 1940, is characterized by haemangiomatosis, thrombocytopenia and intravascular coagulation. It is most often seen in children, rarely in adults. The mortality rate is 20-30%. Treatment is by removing the haemangiomatosis and correcting the consumptive coagulopathy. The purpose of this paper is to present a patient with Kasabach Merritt syndrome with haemangiomatosis in the spleen and the liver. A review of the relevant literature is given.
