Deformation of the bladder due to collateral circulation caused by thrombosis of the left femoral vein

Abstract

A thrombus in the lower extremities as well as in its collateral circulation in the pelvis are not unusual conditions; however, bladder deformation due to such collateral circulation has not previously been reported. A case is presented of bladder deformation to the right due to collateral circulation caused by a thrombus in the lower left extremity in a 51-year-old man.
