Abstract:
Pseudothrombosis of the infra-renal vena cava is a frequent finding during post-contrast helical computed tomography (CT) studies of the abdomen. Three hundred consecutive patients undergoing contrast-enhanced helical studies were evaluated prospectively to document the incidence of pseudothrombosis. Typical CT findings are illustrated and a significant difference in incidence between the male and female population noted.
