INFERIOR VENA CAVA THROMBOSIS IN A PATIENT WITH ESSENTIAL THROMBOCYTHEMIA
author
Abstract:
Essential thrombocythemia is a chronic myeloproliferative disorder characterized by a sustained proliferation of megakaryocytes, which leads to increased numbers of circulating platelets. Hemorrhagic and/or thrombotic episodes are frequent, and thrombosis of both veins and arteries may develop. Vessels in unusual sites may be involved, e.g., the hepatic veins, mesenteric veins, and the digital vessels. Thrombosis of the inferior vena cava has not been reported previously. In this paper we report inferior vena cava thrombosis in a patient with essential thrombocythemia.

full textInferior Vena Cava Thrombosis.
Thrombosis of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is an under-recognized entity that is associated with significant short- and long-term morbidity and mortality. In absence of a congenital anomaly, the most common cause of IVC thrombosis is the presence of an unretrieved IVC filter. Due to the substantial increase in the number of IVC filters placed in the United States and the very low filter retriev...

Background: Neonatal thrombotic diseases can cause mortality or serious morbidity and disability.Case report: In this report, we present a case of neonatal inferior vena cava thromboembolism with several underlyingfactors. Hereditary thrombophilia and genetic mutation in plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and MTHFR A1298C genesin conjunction with cleft palate resulted in poor l...
full textInferior vena cava filter thrombosis
Patients with inferior vena cava (IVC) filters - particularly permanent filters - are at increased risk for recurrent deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Judicious use of IVC filters, as well as the prompt retrieval of temporary IVC filters, substantially reduces the risk of IVC thrombosis.

Psoas abscess is a rare clinical entity. Rarely, it is associated with thrombosis of the inferior vena cava. This report is of a 36-year-old woman with bilateral pyogenic psoas abscesses with spondylodiscitis complicated by thrombosis of the inferior vena cava. The pathogenesis and imaging features of this condition are discussed.
full textAbdominal tuberculosis and thrombosis of inferior vena cava: a case report
Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is an ancient disease. At the present, about 9 million people are suffering from the disease, and about 3 million people die due to TB and its complications. Abdominal or Gastrointestinal tract TB is the sixth most frequent site of extrapulmonary involvement. Diagnosis of abdominal TB is very difficult since it appears with multiple symptoms. In this study, we de...
