  • Title: Fatal thrombotic complications of hepatic cystic compression of the inferior vena: a case report.
    Author: Leung TK, Lee CM, Chen HC.
    Journal: World J Gastroenterol; 2005 Mar 21; 11(11):1728-9. PubMed ID: 15786562.
    Abstract:
    Of 5% of patients who develop liver cysts, only 10-15% of them come for medical attention, typically because of dull right upper quadrant pain, abdominal bloating or early satiety. We treated a 77-year-old female with a rare complication of inferior vena cava thrombosis. The patient expired due to septic shock and multiple organ failure.
