These Hips Don’t Lie: Deep Vein Thrombosis in an Adolescent With an Inferior Vena Cava Anomaly
Congenital anomalies of the inferior vena cava can predispose adolescents to deep vein thrombosis. A 13-year-old male with left hip pain after a sports injury was found to have extensive deep vein thromobis due to an interrupted inferior vena cava. The diagnosis led to catheter-directed thrombolysis and anticoagulation, resolving symptoms.
