Key result
Hereditary antithrombin III deficiency type 1 led to a rare neonatal myocardial infarction as the primary thromboembolic incident in a newborn girl.
This case highlights that hereditary antithrombin III deficiency can rarely present as neonatal myocardial infarction during the first days of life.
Consider antithrombin deficiency in neonatal MI; leaves open need for screening and management guidelines.
We report the case of a newborn girl with antithrombin III deficiency type 1. The clinical features of a hypercoagulable condition that lead to this rare diagnosis differed from the reports in the literature, since the primary thromboembolic incident resulted in neonatal myocardial infarction, which is in itself a rare condition during the first days of life.
