A lack of congenital Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) is an uncommon malformation that has been identified in combination with idiopathic Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT), exclusively. It may not even be revealed during the lifetime. A 63-year-old female was accepted with three months of abdominal and pelvic pain and localized edema on the right flank. During this admission, she was examined and recognized for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Ct scan images showed a lack of the Inferior Vena Cava with enormous thrombosis collaterals of the superficial vein in the abdomen. In this case report, we report a woman with side pain who has an absence of the IVC.

AbstractCongenital inferior vena cava anomalies have a reduced frequency in general population, many times being an asymptomatic finding. Patients caring such anomalies are at risk to develop deep vein thrombosis. In this paper, we present 2 siblings with deep venous thrombosis and inferior vena cava abnormalities, with a symptomatic onset at similar age. The inferior vena cava abnormality was documented by an angio-CT in each case. The thrombophilic workup was negative. Patients were treated with conservative therapy: low molecular weight heparin anticoagulants converted later to oral anticoagulant with resolution of symptoms and disappearance of the thrombus. Finally, in the absence of any risk factor in a young patient admitted with deep vein thrombosis investigations to exclude inferior vena cava anomalies are mandatory.

CONTEXT: There are no reports in the literature of massive deep venous thrombosis (DVT) associated with cisplatin, bleomycin and etoposide (BEP) cancer treatment. CASE REPORT: The patient was a 18-year-old adolescent with a nonseminomatous germ cell tumor of the right testicle, with the presence of pulmonary, liver, and massive retroperitoneal metastases. Following radical orchiectomy, the patient started chemotherapy according to the BEP protocol (without routine prophylaxis for DVT). On day 4 of the first cycle, massive DVT was diagnosed, extending from both popliteal veins up to the thoracic segment of the inferior vena cava. Thrombolytic therapy with streptokinase was immediately started. On day 2 of thrombolytic therapy, the patient developed acute renal failure, due to extension of the thrombosis to the renal veins. Streptokinase was continued for six days and the outcome was remarkably favorable.

Abstract This case presentation involves a 57-year-old-male who suffered multiple adverse sequels from the delayed diagnosis of a large presacral mass. He initially presented with lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Several months later, he had developed a pulmonary embolus. Imaging demonstrated a 13 × 14 cm presacral pelvic mass that occluded the right-sided venous return from the leg and caused the DVT and pulmonary embolism. An inferior vena cava filter was placed and eventually clotted. He then was referred to our institution for surgical consultation. The patient received lytic therapy and unfortunately developed hematemesis and a significant hemoglobin drop. An esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) showed a black esophagus. A transthoracic echocardiogram showed a patent foramen ovale. The patient eventually stabilized and a repeat EGD a week later showed resolution of the ischemic esophagus. The patient later underwent a resection of the pelvic mass. The surgical approach and the surgical decision-making will be discussed.
