Abstract
Introduction: Neonatal aortic thrombosis is a rare but some cases have been described in the literature. It is associated with high mortality. The main etiology is umbilical vessel catheterization, but others cause coagulopathy, so sepsis could not be excluded. We reported a case

Summary
Aortic thrombosis in the neonate is a rare entity of uncertain etiology with a high mortality [1]. We report a case of thrombosis of the abdominal aorta in a newborn treated at the advanced stage of lower limbs ischemia with a surgical approach. A contrast CT scan of the thoracic, abdomen, and lower extremities revealed complete subrenal aortic thrombosis extending to both iliac arteries (Figure 2). We started with a thrombectomy of the aorta, with 3 Fr balloon catheter, thrombectomy of both iliac arteries and the femoro-popliteal axes of both limbs were performed (Figure 3). 7 meq/L, PT came at 12%; the activated thromboplastin time was prolonged at 100 second, hemoglobin 9.7 g/dL after exsanguinations The correction of these anomalies was initiated. At 24 hours, post-operative blood exploration revealed urea at 0.49 g/L, creatinine 3.8 mg/L, sodium 138 mmol/L, kaliemia 9.92 mmol/L, and alkaline reserve at
