Renal vein thrombosis in a newborn: a case report with emphasis on pathological and radiological features.
A case of renal vein thrombosis in a newborn is presented. Trauma during pregnancy is suggested as an etiological factor. In contradistinction to most cases reported the newborn showed no signs of acute illness except for a palpable abdominal mass. Therefore, surgical intervention was delayed for 10 months but this did not impair the infant's growth and well-being.
