%X Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition in which a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually of the lower extremity. In pediatric orthopedic surgery, the incidence of thrombotic events is rare. This is a case presentation of a 12-year-old female patient without previous events or a family history of thrombotic events who underwent a posterior spinal fusion due to severe adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The patient developed a DVT due to an underlying Factor V Leiden mutation. The purpose of this case report is to create awareness, facilitate the diagnosis and management, and aid in future interventions and clinical outcomes.
