Inferior Vena Cava Thrombosis attributable to Hyperhomocysteinemia: A Case Report from Nepal

Abstract

Inferior vena cava thrombosis (IVCT) is a rare occurrence and is a result of leg deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The etiology of IVC thrombosis can be divided into congenital versus acquired etiological factors found in Virchow’s triad of stasis, injury, and hypercoagulability. Hyperhomocysteinemia is a rare risk factor for thromboembolism.
