AI Article Synopsis
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a significant health issue that often occurs in the legs and requires quick imaging for diagnosis and treatment.
- Patients without known risk factors for DVT might receive misdiagnoses related to muscle disorders rather than DVT.
- This report presents two unusual cases where thigh MR imaging helped identify DVT, emphasizing the importance of recognizing certain imaging patterns to distinguish DVT from other conditions.
Article Abstract
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common clinical problem affecting the lower extremities. Prompt imaging of suspected DVT is helpful for rapid diagnosis and proper treatment. However, patients without clear predisposing factors for DVT may be directed to alternative diagnoses of a musculoskeletal disorder. The few case reports and studies of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of unsuspected DVT are limited to the calf and knee. Here, we report two cases with a rare presentation of thigh MR imaging of unsuspected DVT. Identifying branching, abnormal intraluminal signals on fluid-sensitive imaging, or rim-enhancing tubular structures within the edema of the thigh muscle is important for differentiating intramuscular DVT from other thigh pathologies.

Venous hypertension due to anatomical venous insufficiency (superficial or deep venous valvular reflux and venous obstruction) and/or functional venous insufficiency (calf dysfunction, dependent edema, lymphatic dysfunction, elevated central venous pressures, etc.) leads to chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and its sequelae. The most severe clinical manifestation of CVI is venous leg ulcer (VLU), which leads to substantial morbidity and disability.

Purpose: Patients in neurologic intensive care unit (NICU) often undergo inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) placement for venous thrombotic events. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of IVCF, filter retrieval, and mortality among patients that received IVCF in NICU.
Materials And Methods: In this single institutional, noncomparative, retrospective study, all patients who were admitted to NICU and underwent IVCF placement from April 2015 to December 2020 were reviewed.

Introduction: Inflammatory diseases have been associated with increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, data on VTE is lacking in large population-based cohorts of microscopic colitis (MC).
Methods: This study included all Swedish adults with incident MC without prior VTE (1990-2017; n=12,489; follow-up until 2021).

Division of Emergency Medicine, Children's National Hospital, Washington, DC.
Congenital anomalies of the inferior vena cava can predispose adolescents to deep vein thrombosis. A 13-year-old male with left hip pain after a sports injury was found to have extensive deep vein thromobis due to an interrupted inferior vena cava. The diagnosis led to catheter-directed thrombolysis and anticoagulation, resolving symptoms.
