Amebic liver abscess rupture into inferior vena cava with pulmonary thrombo embolism: a case report
Vascular complications need a high index of suspicion, good clinical knowledge, timely workup, and intervention. Direct rupture of an amebic liver abscess into the inferior vena cava, leading to pulmonary thromboembolism, is exceedingly rare and is not well-documented in the literature. Thorough investigation and timely intervention can successfully treat the patient.
