Intestinal obstruction in a neonate with adrenal hemorrhage and renal vein thrombosis.
Adrenal hemorrhage and renal vein thrombosis are two distinct vascular entities encountered in the newborn period. Occasionally, both entities may co-exist in the same patient. A premature infant of a diabetic mother presented with intestinal obstruction secondary to extrinsic compression by the mass effect of the enlarged hemorrhagic adrenal and thrombosed kidney on the left hemicolon, a phenomenon which to our knowledge has not previously been described.
