Abstract:
Inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis is a rare but serious complication. We report a case of delayed presentation of abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) secondary to IVC thrombosis, which contributed to progressive multi-organ dysfunction syndrome. Increased intra-abdominal pressure further resulted in venous stasis and thrombus formation, exacerbating systemic deterioration. Despite supportive care and attempted interventions, the patient developed refractory organ failure and expired. This case underscores the critical importance of early diagnosis and timely management of ACS to prevent vascular complications and fatal outcomes.

Flail Chest-I
Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of flail chest is complex, involving fractures of...
