Abstract
A rare case of inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis secondary to acute pancreatitis is reported. A 24-year-old male alcoholic presented with severe upper abdominal pain, hyperlipasaemia and swelling in both lower limbs. Radiological imaging showed an isolated inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis in the infrahepatic part of the IVC along with a bulky pancreas and ill-defined peripancreatic fat planes. Early treatment with heparin along with the standard management of acute pancreatitis was effective. Awareness of this complication will help in its early diagnosis and management.
