Interactive Radiology Case Reports :: Spontaneous rupture of the inferior vena cava (IVC) in the setting of IVC filter thrombosis: case report

Click 61-year-old man with spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma
This imaging set corresponds with Figure 2
Findings: new retroperitoneal hematoma surrounding the aorta and inferior vena cava, with blood tracking into the pelvis
Technique: contrast enhanced CT, transaxial

Click 61-year-old man with spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma
This imaging set corresponds with Figure 2
Findings: new retroperitoneal hematoma surrounding the aorta and inferior vena cava, with blood tracking into the pelvis
Technique: contrast enhanced CT, coronal

Click 61-year-old man with spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma, IVC and extensive deep venous thrombosis, and a large tear in the IVC.
This imaging set corresponds with Figure 4 (C and D)
Findings: Large mural defect in the left aspect of the IVC, consistent with IVC rupture. There is associated thrombosis of the IVC at the level of the filter which extends into both common iliac veins
Technique: MR, VIBE images, delayed phase acquisition, transaxial

Click 61-year-old man with spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma, IVC and extensive deep venous thrombosis, and a large tear in the IVC.
This imaging set corresponds with Figure 4 (E)
Findings: Large mural defect in the left aspect of the IVC, consistent with IVC rupture. There is associated thrombosis of the IVC at the level of the filter which extends into both common iliac veins
Technique: MR, TruFISP images, noncontrast, transaxial
