The Kasabach-Merritt syndrome: treatment with intermittent pneumatic compression.
Department of Child Health, St George's Hospital, London.

The bleeding and laboratory abnormalities responded to intermittent pneumatic compression of the affected limb. This innocuous treatment should be considered in the Kasabach-Merritt syndrome.
