4. CONCLUSION
Neonatal thrombosis cases are increasing in recent years, and critically ill and premature neonates carry the highest risk. Since maternal and perinatal risk also contributes in development of thrombosis in neonates, meticulous antenatal and perinatal history is very important for early diagnosis and intervention. Additionally, most of the time symptoms of thrombosis are nonspecific, therefore acknowledging the risk factors is crucial. Immediate management with anticoagulants is necessary to prevent complications, especially in resource limited settings, where management of complication would be more difficult. Cautious umbilical vein or artery catheterization and immediate removal of it once not required, is also important to decrease risk of thrombosis.
