Thrombosis in Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Due to Intra-cystic Hemorrhage into a Hepatic Local Cyst with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD)

Abstract

Abstract

Hemorrhagic hepatic cysts mimicking biliary cystadenoma

“…Extra attention should be paid to patients whose symptoms are relative to the severe complications caused by the intracystic hemorrhage. For example, Iguchi et al [5] reported a 76-year-old man with severe edema of both lower extremities and a CT scan revealed an enlarged hemorrhagic hepatic cyst compressing inferior vena cava (IVC) in which massive thromboses formed. Buyse et al [6] reported a patient with simple hepatic cyst developed acute dyspnoea.…”

“…For poorly conditioned patients, transcatheter arterial embolization, transhepatic cyst drainage, intracystic ethanol injection or noninvasive methods are indicated. These methods can obtain therapeutic effect in some patients, though the bleeding may recur afterwards [3][4][5]14,15] . Surgery should be performed for most well conditioned patients, especially those whose diagnosis does not preclude malignancy.…”

Combined jugular and subclavian vein thrombosis following assisted reproductive technology—new observation

“…In a similar fashion, hepatic cysts filled with blood have been reported to result in inferior vena cava thrombosis because of external compression of the vein, in a patient with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and hepatic cystic cavities (22).…”

Inferior Vena Cava Thrombi Caused by Enlarged, Solitary Hepatic Cyst

“…Several conditions can result in IVCS, including autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, renal cell carcinoma, post-traumatic hematoma and liver abscess. [1][2][3] Congenital liver cysts detected incidentally on ultrasonography or CT are usually asymptomatic and do not require treatment. Cysts can be single or multiple, with sizes ranging from millimeters to 20 cm.…”
