Nephrotic syndrome is associated with hypercoagulable states and a subsequent high risk of venous and rarely arterial thromboembolism. Although venous thromboembolism has been a recognised risk, prevalence of pulmonary embolism in patients with nephrotic syndrome is based on data from different case series. Here we report a 5 year old child with nephrotic syndrome who developed life threatening cerebral dural venous sinus thrombosis and pulmonary embolism within a month of disease onset.
