title: [Ultrasound diagnosis of thrombosis of the inferior vena cava in the puerperium].
abstract: This case study describes the diagnosis of a thrombosis of the inferior vena cava in the course of a sonographic examination of the upper abdomen. Using ultrasound, large abdominal vessels can be examined easily. Following diagnosis, sonographic examinations under intensive care allowed observation of the further progress of the thrombus up to its dissolution.
