Abstract
Pseudothrombosis of the infra-renal vena cava is a frequent finding du ring post-contrast helical computed tomography (CT) studies of the abd omen. Three hundred consecutive patients undergoing contrast-enhanced helical studies were evaluated prospectively to document the incidence of pseudothrombosis. Typical CT findings are illustrated and a signif icant difference in incidence between the male and female population n oted.
