[Interesting findings of RI venogram in a case with obstruction of inferior vena cava due to compression by the ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm].
99mTc-MAA venography was performed in a patient with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm into inferior vena cava (IVC). Obstruction of lower portion of IVC was considered to be due to the compression by ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, which was confirmed at surgery. Subsequent scintigram revealed abnormally high RI uptake in the whole liver and a hot spot in the middle antero-inferior segment of liver, which may be characteristic for such a condition.
