Abstract

Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is a life-threatening complication that usually develops as a result of conditioning regimens for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). It is also less diagnosed after the use of chemotherapeutic agents, removal of alkaloid toxins, high-dose radiation therapy, or liver transplantation. It presents with hepatomegaly, right upper quadrant pain, jaundice and ascites [1-3]. Outside of the HSCT setting, only a few cases of SOS with Wilms tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and medulloblastoma have been reported. Here, we wanted to present our experience in 5 pediatric cases with SOS due to conventional treatment.
