CT confirmed thrombosis within the right femoral vein with extension into the lower inferior vena cava (IVC) to just below the renal veins (Figure 2), as previously suggested on duplex USS. Clinical signs of an obstructed IVC were also apparent in the form of dilated superficial lower abdominal veins and a positive Harvey's sign.
