Ultrasound images of thrombosis of caval vein inferior--three selected cases.
Thrombosis of vena cava inferior can occur as complication of numerous diseases. Because of a variety of causes, the clinical signs accompanying thrombosis are often ambiguous, which is the cause of delay in initiation of appropriate treatment. This article presents three interesting cases of thrombosis of vena cava inferior in children accompanying extensive burn, the Budd-Chiari syndrome, and prolonged presence of catheters in vessels. The use of ultrasound in B presentation, Color Doppler and Power Doppler has enabled early diagnosis and application of appropriate treatment.
