title: Inferior vena cava thrombosis associated with a distended ileal neobladder.
abstract: Venous stasis is generally accepted to be a predisposing factor for venous thrombosis. However, benign causes of inferior vena cava (IVC) obstruction with associated thrombus formation have not been well described. We herein present a case of IVC compression caused by a distended ileal neobladder measuring 2,000 mL in capacity that led to IVC thrombosis. Following transurethral drainage for six weeks and anticoagulation therapy with warfarin for six months, the thrombus completely disappeared. The patient was considered to have a hypercoagulable state resulting from an acute urinary tract infection, a condition that may be associated with an increased risk of thrombosis.
