Abstract:
Postpartum inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis is a rare, but potentially life-threatening disorder. Here we reported one case of the youngest woman to date who presented with massive IVC thrombus extending from deep veins of the right leg to the level of the 11th thoracic vertebra, associated with asymptomatic pulmonary embolism.
