The athlete was referred to her team physician, who identified normal vital signs but referred her to the emergency room because of significant pain. The student-athlete was diagnosed with bilateral pulmonary emboli in the emergency room.<\/jats:p>\n        <\/jats:sec>\n        <jats:sec>\n          <jats:title>Differential Diagnosis:<\/jats:title>\n          <jats:p>Pneumonia, renal calculi, upper urinary tract infection, intercostal muscle strain or rib fracture, pancreatitis, gall bladder disease, gastritis, ulceration, esophagitis, infection, tumor, pulmonary embolism.<\/jats:p>\n        <\/jats:sec>\n        <jats:sec>\n          <jats:title>Treatment:<\/jats:title>\n          <jats:p>The student-athlete was immediately placed on anticoagulants for 6 months. During that time, she was unable to participate in gymnastics and was limited to light conditioning.<\/jats:p>\n        <\/jats:sec>\n        <jats:sec>\n          <jats:title>Uniqueness:<\/jats:title>\n          <jats:p>Documented cases of female student-athletes developing a pulmonary embolism are lacking in the literature. Two cases of pulmonary embolism in male high school student-athletes have been documented, in addition to many cases in elderly and sedentary populations.<\/jats:p>\n        <\/jats:sec>\n        <jats:sec>\n          <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n          <jats:p>All health care providers, including sports medicine professionals, should be aware that this condition may be present among student-athletes. During the initial evaluation, prescreening should include questions about any previous or family history of pulmonary embolism or other blood clots. Athletes who answer positively to these questions may have a higher likelihood of pulmonary embolism and should be referred for testing.<\/jats:p>\n        <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4085\/1062-6050-44.6.666","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,12,30]],"date-time":"2009-12-30T15:36:39Z","timestamp":1262187399000},"page":"666-671","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Bilateral Pulmonary Emboli in a Collegiate Gymnast: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.4085","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"Leamor","family":"Kahanov","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tarah","family":"Daly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2557","reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"i1062-6050-44-6-666-English1","series-title":"Medsurg Nurs","first-page":"352","article-title":"Prodromal signs and symptoms of a venous pulmonary embolism.","volume":"15","author":"English, J.
