SUMMARY A previously healthy female infant which has had a difficult forceps delivery is on the fifth day of life taken ill with shock, abdominal distension, a mass at the site of the right kidney, and macroscopic hematuria. Nephrectomy is carried out, on vital indication and on the suspicion of hemorrhage from a right‐sided renal tumor. A total renal infarction is found, as well as a thrombus, reaching from the renal vein up into vena. cava. The patient made a rapid recovery.
