Coexisting calcified inferior vena cava thrombus and adrenal hemorrhage in the neonate: Report of three cases

Abstract: Coexisting calcified inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombus and adrenal hemorrhage are uncommon in children. We present three such cases diagnosed by ultrasound in three boys who were born after 41-, 38-, and 38-week gestations, respectively. In all cases the pregnancy and delivery were unremarkable. The birthweight was 3,630 g, 3,210 g, and 3,390 g, respectively. Left adrenal hemorrhage occurred in all cases. Associated left renal vein thrombus occurred in two cases. The mean followup was 8.5 years. In two cases u… Show more

“…2 Abdominal malignancy, adrenal hemorrhage, coagulopathy, dehydration, infection, and structural anomalies have been implicated in its aetiology. [3][4][5][6] IVC calcification in adults is exceptionally rare, with only a small number of cases described. A case report identifies total calcific occlusion of the IVC 2 cm below the renal veins extending to the formation of the IVC at the joining of the common iliac veins in a 39-year-old man.…”

“…A evolução do trombo é variável, ocorrendo desde o desaparecimento completo em poucos dias até calcificação e estenose venosa persistente (9) . O rim pode recuperar a função se a circulação colateral for adequada ou houver recanalização precoce da veia renal.…”

“…Portanto, diante da suspeita de hemorragia adrenal e/ou de trombose da veia renal, a US deve constituir o método de imagem inicial de escolha, pois tem acurácia semelhante à da TC, não envolve radiação ionizante, tem menor custo e é mais práti-ca (não requer sedação e pode ser realizada à beira do leito) (3,9) . Além disso, no recém-nascido, a escassez de gordura intraabdominal dificulta o estudo tomográfico.…”
