    Author: Al-Samarrai SF, Kato A, Urano Y.
    Journal: Acta Pathol Jpn; 1984 Nov; 34(6):1441-7. PubMed ID: 6395629.
    Abstract:
    A second rare autopsy case of renal vein thrombosis in a stillborn female infant of a diabetic mother and the first after oxytocin induction is reported. Correlative light and electron microscopic studies were conducted. Extensive thrombosis from main to small cortical branches of the left renal vein was encountered causing hemorrhagic infarction of the left kidney. Newly formed hemorrhagic infarction and thrombosis of several small veins in the cortex of the right kidney were discovered. Hyperplasia of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans was observed. The literature was reviewed and the pathogenesis and clinical aspects were discussed.
