Abstract
Spontaneous abdominal aortic thrombosis in neonates due to various causes is a known entity. Hypernatremic dehydration with acute kidney injury/failure can also be one of the aetiologies. A 14- and 11-day-old term neonate born to primigravida mothers presented to two different facilities with a similar presentation of hypernatremic dehydration and acute kidney injury/failure attributed to inadequate breastfeeding causing non-catheter-related spontaneous abdominal aortic thrombosis. In both cases, initial management was supportive care, fluids and electrolyte corrections, antibiotics, and antihypertensives. Anticoagulant therapy resulted in notable improvement in renal function and general well-being of the neonates. A high index of suspicion of vascular thrombosis in neonates presenting with hypernatremic dehydration and acute renal injury/failure is key to having good clinical outcomes. Newer anticoagulant drugs like rivaroxaban can be promising in the management of neonatal aortic thrombosis.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Case Reports is different from other case report journals. Our aim is to directly improve global health and increase clinical understanding using case reports to convey important best practice information. We welcome case reports from all areas of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, and Veterinary Science and may include: -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates an important best practice teaching message -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates the appropriate use of an important clinical guideline or systematic review. As well as: -The management of novel or very uncommon diseases -A common disease presenting in an uncommon way -An uncommon disease masquerading as something more common -Cases which expand understanding of disease pathogenesis -Cases where the teaching point is based on an error -Cases which allow us to re-think established medical lore -Unreported adverse effects of interventions (drug, procedural, or other).
