Abstract :
Venous thrombosis is one of the major complications associated with nephrotic syndrome. Among the primary glomerular diseases,membranous nephropathy is associated with a high incidence of thrombotic events. Although this is well described in adults,there is paucity of the literature regarding venous thrombosis in children. Herein,we report such a thrombotic event involving both the lower limb veins and the inferior vena cava in a child with membranous nephropathy.
