We report the computed tomography and ultrasound findings of a 45 year old patient with membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava and hepatocellular carcinoma.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:The incidence of membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava is rare, but the diagnosis is essential because of the association of this lesion with portal fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
📊
Key Findings & Data:In membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava, the hepatic segment of the inferior vena cava is obstructed by a fibromuscular membrane or replaced by a cordlike fibrous tissue.
💡

Abstract
The incidence of membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava is rare, but the diagnosis is essential because of the association of this lesion with portal fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. In membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava, the hepatic segment of the inferior vena cava is obstructed by a fibromuscular membrane or replaced by a cordlike fibrous tissue. We report the computed tomography and ultrasound findings of a 45 year old patient with membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava and hepatocellular carcinoma.
