Postabortion ovarian vein septic thrombophlebitis is a very rare variety with high complication rates and it should be considered as a differential diagnosis for febrile abdominal pain syndrome in the post-abortion period. The contrast-enhanced CT or MRI have the highest sensitivity and specificity to diagnose the ovarian veins thrombi. The treatment it consists in a combination of anticoagulation therapy and antibiotics. In case that anticoagulation is contraindicated it´s recommended placing an inferior vena cava filter.

Hepatic haemangioma (HH) is a common benign tumour of the liver and is usually asymptomatic. HH causing isolated right-sided pleural effusion and bilateral pedal oedema due to inferior vena cava (IVC) compression have never been reported in the literature. We report a 35-year-old male patient who presented with breathlessness and mass per abdomen. On examination, the patient was found to have right-sided pleural effusion, bilateral pedal oedema, hepatomegaly. Contrast-enhanced CT showed compression of the IVC by the HH. The patient was managed with right-sided intercostal drain insertion for pleural effusion and hepatic artery embolisation. The patient improved gradually with reduced pleural effusion and resolving pedal oedema.

Abstract Background: This report describes one case of anesthetic management about surgical resection of a malignant phaeochromocytoma with tumor extension into vena cava and right atrium in a patient. Report for anesthetic management is limited in these patients under surgical resection until now. Case presentation: In September 2015, a 24-year-old male presented to the department of cardiology with right flank pain and hypertensive urgency in our hospital. Contrast-enhanced CT abdomen and MRI abdomen revealed right adrenal mass suspicious of malignancy with invasion and compression to the right IVC wall along with IVC thrombus extending from the level of renal veins to the level of confluence with hepatic veins. Echocardiography shown no abnormal detection. Finally, this patient gave up the surgical resection of phaeochromocytoma and chose the expectant treatment. In April 2018, this patient once again presented to the emergence department with a persistent cough and intermittent wheezing character for 5 hour. Contrast-enhanced CT and echocardiography shown existing IVC thrombus had extended into the right atrium. After the careful preoperative preparation, adrenalectomy with complete thrombus excision by inferior vena cava exploration and right atriotomy were performed successfully by a multidisciplinary team. After one month post-operation care, the patient healthily leave our hospital. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, the occurrence of pheochromocytoma in IVC and right atrium thrombosis has not been reported so far from mainland China. This clinical case may supply a rare reference experience for surgical treatment and anesthetic management in the group of phaeochromocytoma patient with distance vascular extension. Keywords: Adrenal tumor; Malignant phaeochromocytoma; Inferior vena cava; Right atrium; Tumor thrombus.

Abstract Contrast blood level in intrahepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) on arterial contrast-enhanced CT images is referred to as IVC layering or IVC contrast level sign. This sign is important to recognize as it has dismal prognosis and requires immediate attention. The causes described in literature include cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest and cardiac tamponade. We hereby present three cases depicting IVC contrast level sign.
