ABSTRACT
Nephrotic syndrome is known to be associated with thrombosis in child. These complications are severe. The authors reported a case of a 4 year-old boy who was hospitalized for a corticoresistant nephrotic syndrome. He has developed a bilateral pulmonary embolism secondary to the extension of the thrombosis of the superior vena cava. The treatment consisted in the association of a low molecular weight heparin and vitamin K antagonists for 8 months. The outcome was good after 18 months without sequealea, and the remission of nephrotic syndrome was obtained after using cyclosporine
