TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Delayed presentation of blunt inferior vena cava injury following high-speed motor vehicle collision JO - Trauma (Sage) A1 - Tupper, Haley A1 - Reiter, Shelby A1 - Rog, Colin J. A1 - French, Bryce A1 - Hayes, Paul Greg SP - 312 EP - 315 VL - 22 IS - 4 N2 - This is a report of a case of acute-on-chronic inferior vena cava thrombosis 10 years following blunt abdominal trauma from a motor vehicle collision. Although more common risk factors for this pathology include anatomical variation or the long-standing presence of an inferior vena cava filter, history of blunt abdominal trauma serves as a rare etiology. Fewer than 20 cases of inferior vena cava thrombosis following blunt abdominal trauma have been reported in the literature, and most describe a presentation within weeks of inciting trauma. The lengthy time to diagnosis and acute-on-chronic presentation given substantial reconstitution of circulation by collateral veins make this case unique in the literature.
