We present a rare case of renal vein thrombosis suspected prenatally by ultrasound followed by prompt renal assessment after birth, leading to diagnosis of RVT on day one of life. This condition is commonly seen and diagnosed in the neonatal period; however, it is unclear how commonly it originates in utero. Prenatal ultrasound findings described in our case may increase recognition of the RVT in the prenatal period, allowing for expeditious evaluation and treatment for RVT in the neonatal period prior to symptom onset.
