[Calcified thrombus of the inferior vena cava. Apropos of a case].

Standard X-rays demonstrate the calcification and allow the diagnosis of calcified thrombus. Ultrasound, if necessary, can be performed. Pathogenesis remains at the present time unknown but congenital or hemodynamic factor are probable. Children are asymptomatic and no specific treatment is advised.
