Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1259/bjr.75.896.750692

Abstract

Pseudothrombosis of the infrarenal inferior vena cava is a well recognized sign seen on helical CT of the abdomen. We report on pseudothrombosis of the iliac vein related to combined kidney and pancreas transplantation in the pelvis.
