Adrenal vein thromboses in an infant of diabetic mother.
Maternal diabetes is common condition complicating pregnancy and may have serious consequences for the offspring. We report on an infant of a mother with multisubstance abuse and poorly controlled type I diabetes with complications that include multifocal fetal myocardial infarcts, macrosomia, hypoxic encephalopathy and islet cell hyperplasia, and bilateral adrenal vein thromboses with necrosis, a relatively rare complication of maternal diabetes.
