A 7-day old neonate presented with heart failure secondary to severe hypertension. The hypertension was discovered on day 9 of life. Control of his hypertension was a difficult problem eventually requiring continuous intravenous sodium nitroprusside therapy, and ultimately a nephrectomy. The nephrectomized specimen revealed renal artery stenosis, renal artery thrombosis and renal vein thrombosis. His eventual outcome was excellent.
