Pulmonary embolism due to hydatid cysts is a very rare clinical entity. Hydatid pulmonary embolism can be distinguished from other causes of pulmonary embolism with contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI especially displays the cystic nature of lesions better than CECT. Here we report a 45-year-old male patient with the pulmonary embolism due to ruptured hydatid liver cyst into the inferior vena cava.

AbstractA 29-year-old man with diarrhea and abdominal pain for 2 weeks presented with new-onset left back pain. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed a left inferior vena cava (IVC) crossing over the aorta, and thrombus in the IVC and left renal vein. Colonoscopy and biopsy for assessment of diarrhea and abdominal pain provided a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis. Stasis of blood flow due to left IVC crossing over the aorta, and hypercoagulability due to ulcerative colitis influenced thrombus formation.

Aneurysms of the inferior vena cava (IVC) are extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, only 29 cases of IVC aneurysms are published in literature. We present a new case of surgically treated symptomatic saccular aneurysm of the infrarenal IVC and review previously published cases. Following resection of the aneurysm and the thrombosed infrarenal IVC, the patient fully recovered. Thrombosed IVC aneurysm may mimic a retroperitoneal tumour. In some cases, CT and MRI findings may be equivocal. Surgical treatment is indicated in all symptomatic and low-risk asymptomatic cases.

Abnormalities of the inferior vena cava (IVC) are rare. Its embryological development occurs between the sixth and eighth week of gestation, and depends on the persistence or regression of 3 pairs of veins: the posterior cardinal veins, the sub cardinal veins and the supra cardinal veins. The type of congenital alteration depends the moment that embryogenesis is altered. The most frequent clinical presentation is deep vein thrombosis, which occurs mainly in young men. Other clinical presentations are pelvic venous congestion and chronic venous insufficiency. The diagnosis requires a high diagnostic suspicion, and it is mainly through contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis. The treatment will depend on the type of malformation and its presentation.

Therapeutic Method

The placement of an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter is a therapeutic method for selected patients with deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. However, insertion and placement of the filter may be associated with certain complications. For instance, retroperitoneal hematoma resulting from perforation of the wall by the filter is such a very rare but serious complication. We report the case of a 64-year-old woman with perforation of the IVC wall and consecutive hematoma caused by the filter who was treated surgically.
