Abstract EN
Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) and polycythemia are considered as rare and life threatening complications of nephrotic syndrome.
We report an unusual combination of both these complications in a case of nephrotic syndrome due to minimal change disease that was treated successfully.
There was prompt and complete remission of nephrotic syndrome with steroid therapy, concurrent with complete resolution of polycythemia and CVT.
