Abstract
The case report of a patient with inferior vena caval obstruction secondary to ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm is presented. The cause of the obstruction was not diagnosed prior to laparotomy. Management included replacement of the aneurysm, plication of the thrombosed inferior vena cava and evacuation of the hematoma. This appears to be the 1st case reported and one which adds another possible diagnostic consideration in managing inferior vena caval obstruction.
