ABSTRACT
Thrombotic disease in newborns is uncommon;its incidence is reported as 3-5 per 1,00,000 live births. Most of them are venous thromboembolisms accounting for 2/3rd of reported cases and arterial thrombosis is 1/3rd of the lot. Newborns are at a higher risk for bleeding as well as thrombotic tendency due to immature and low levels of procoagulant and anticoagulant proteins in a predisposed setting. We present a case with vertical transmission of SARS-COV2 infection and the coagulopathy therewith presenting as arterial thrombus at birth which was, effectively treated with anticoagulation therapy.
