Abstract
A 29-year-old woman presented post-natally with pulmonary hypertension. Per ipheral venous thrombosis was not detected by duplex ultrasound or conventi onal MRI. Despite anticoagulation, the patient arrested. Autopsy revealed r ight iliac vein thrombosis. The ability of conventional MRI to detect acute pelvic thrombophlebitis depends on obtaining appropriate views. (C) 2000 E lsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
