Abstract

Nephrotic syndrome in infancy and childhood can be associated with thromboembolic complications. We describe two cases of nephrotic syndrome who presented with non-specific findings. Magnetic resonance imaging brain with magnetic resonance venography showed thrombosis of multiple venous sinuses. Patients were successfully treated with anticoagulants and there was complete resolution of thrombosis on repeat imaging.

Keywords: Anticoagulation; cerebral venous sinus thrombosis; magnetic resonance imaging; magnetic resonance venography; nephrotic syndrome.
