  • Title: Intestinal obstruction caused by infarcted splenic hemangioma with renal vein thrombosis in a newborn: a case report.
    Author: Lee CH.
    Journal: Int Surg; 2002; 87(3):157-9. PubMed ID: 12403090.
    Abstract:
    The spleen in newborns, infants, and children is rarely involved in a variety of pathological processes. These processes may involve an isolated splenic disease or may be a part of a systemic illness. Renal vein thrombosis in infants of diabetic mothers has been reported. We report a case of a newborn with intestinal obstruction caused by an infarcted splenic hemangioma and renal vein thrombosis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the youngest case with both above-mentioned diagnoses and causes of intestinal obstruction in the English medical literature.
