Abstract

We report a preterm male neonate with thrombosis of bilateral renal veins, infra-hepatic inferior vena cava, and superior sagittal sinus as well as left adrenal hemorrhage, which has been seldom reported in the literature. He was managed with appropriate antibiotics, enoxaparin, and supportive care which lead to resolution of thrombosis and normal renal function.
