Abstract
Neonatal portal vein thrombosis (PVT) previously described rarely due to diagnostic modalities and awareness among clinicians. In about 50% of children with PVT, etiology remains unknown, Mechanical and chemical damage to a vessel wall by a catheter is believed to initiate the thrombotic process, making UVC placement the major risk factor for PVT. Application of unhygienic substance like cow dung, ghee and local sepsis are preventable causes of PVT.
