| | History: | The child was born in another hospital. Even at the time of birth, a discolored right hand was noticed. In the doppler sonography, a decreased flow in the lower arm arteries were found. That is why a complete heparinization was started postnatally. After 5 days, the child was transferred to our institution. The tips of the fingers were mostly already mummified. In our hospital, we also noticed a thrombosis of the vena cava. The child was treated with heparin and protein C under the suspicion of a Protein C deficiency. | |
| | Pathomorphology or Pathophysiology of this disease : | Prenatal thrombosis of the vena cava and embolism over the foramen ovale in the right lower arm. | |
