Abstract
Thromboembolic events are among the most serious, yet rare complications of nephrotic syndrome. While peripheral venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are the most common, superior mesenteric artery thrombosis is a rare but life-threatening occurrence. We present a case of severe cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection complicated by congenital nephrotic syndrome, leading to mesenteric ischemia.
