: Renal vein thrombosis in a neonate is a rare but well recognized condition with low mortality but high morbidity. The cause has not been explained clearly yet but is probably a multifactorial process that includes inherited prothrombotic abnormalities. Antenatal onset of renal vein thrombosis is important due to the increased risk for permanent organ damage. We report a case of prenatal thrombosis of the renal veins and the inferior vena cava in a newborn with double heterozygosity for factor V Leiden and prothrombin gene mutations who had persistently impaired renal function requiring chronic peritoneal dialysis.

Objective: To evaluate treatment strategies for congenital intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (CIPSS) based on the experience of treating 27 children.
Methods: Between August 2017 and January 2024, our team treated 27 children with CIPSS. Twelve patients underwent surgical ligation of the portosystemic shunt, while 15 patients diagnosed prenatally received conservative treatment without surgery.

The coagulation and thrombotic systems of an infant are fundamentally different from those of adults and older children. Hemostatic factors have inherently lower circulation levels in infants and are also affected prenatally by conditions of pregnancy. The unique physiology of neonates can contribute to a procoagulant state, which can result in a high level of morbidity and mortality.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to characterize perinatal intracranial hemorrhage (pICH), focusing on differences between cases diagnosed before and after birth and analyzing their causes and clinical patterns.
- Conducted over a decade, the research included 110 pICH cases, revealing that intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) was most prevalent, particularly in prenatally diagnosed cases, while subpial hemorrhage was exclusively identified postnatally.
- The findings indicated that genetic disorders contributed to nearly a third of pICH cases, highlighting the necessity for next-generation sequencing to better understand genetic factors associated with prenatally diagnosed hemorrhages.

Porencephaly is an uncommon neurological condition characterized by cystic cavities or holes in the cerebral hemispheres of the brain filled with cerebrospinal fluid. There are two types of porencephaly: acquired porencephaly, also known as pseudo-porencephaly, and congenital porencephaly, also known as true porencephaly. Acquired porencephaly, also known as encephaloclastic porencephaly, typically results from late prenatal or perinatal vascular lesions caused by arterial ischemic stroke or venous thrombosis.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary haemoglobinopathy which causes multi-organ dysfunction. Pregnancies in SCD are high risk with significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, including vaso-occlusive crises, thrombosis, anaemia, placental insufficiency, fetal growth restriction, preterm birth and medication effects. High level evidence on this topic is lacking.
