Postlaparoscopic traumatic inferior vena caval thrombosis.
Thrombosis of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare disease. It has been reported in the literature in association with a variety of noninfectious diseases, particularly carcinoma of the kidney and liver, as well as abdominal trauma and percutaneous IVC filter placement. We report a case of IVC thrombosis in a young nonpregnant patient after laparoscopic pelvic surgery. We believe it is the first case in the literature of laparoscopic-induced IVC thrombosis.
