CT demonstration of calcified post-thrombotic inferior vena cava.

Abstract

A calcified thrombus in the inferior vena cava is imaged and exactly located by computed tomography in an adult presenting with acute phlebitis complicating deep venous thrombosis. It is the purpose of this case report to discuss the rare finding of inferior vena caval (IVC) calcification and to demonstrate the computed tomographic (CT) findings of a calcified post-thrombotic inferior vena cava.
