The literature rather includes two reports of babies with neonatal pulmonary artery occlusion and post-infarction cysts of the lungs. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a live Caucasian male newborn with left lung hypoplasia that oc...

Neonatal renal vein thrombosis (RVT) is a well-recognized clinical entity which is associated with serious morbidity. However, current information regarding RVT has been restricted to case reports and small case series.

Thrombotic problems are uncommon in childhood, although neonates and infants are more predisposed to presenting them, both due to a deficient inhibition of thrombin activity and a relative inefficacy of thrombolysis. We present the case of a young man with a complete thrombosis of the left renal vein and inferior vena cava in the neonatal period and that was diagnosed with the absence of inferi...

OBJECTIVE Fetal vessel thrombosis has been related to pregnancy complications and adverse neonatal outcomes in singleton pregnancies, but the clinical and pathologic characteristics of fetal thrombosis in twin pregnancy are still ill defined.

Dural venous sinus thrombosis (DVST) in the neonatal period has a spectrum of clinical and radiologic findings. At the present time, the treatment for venous sinus thrombosis is mainly one of supportive therapy.
