Abstract:
Thrombosis of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare condition that can result from various underlying diseases including deep vein thrombosis, major trauma, hypercoagulability disorders, and an obstruction due to tumor involvement and idiopathic causes. Chronic obstruction of the IVC may not be recognized due to the lack of signs and symptoms. Here we report a case of a chronic post-thrombotic obstruction of the inferior vena cava, which was believed to be the cause of a painless gross hematuria.
