“…Few cases of psoas abscess resulting in iliofemoral venous thrombosis have been reported [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]. We report a rare case of paraspinal abscess causing IVC thrombus, and the first as a result of viridans infection.…”

“…Most cases of deep vein thrombosis involve lower extremities and thus involvement at the level of iliac veins or above should prompt further investigation to rule out any mass effect or extrinsic pathology [4]. Few cases of psoas abscess resulting in iliofemoral venous thrombosis have been reported [4], [5], [6], [7], [8].…”

“…Psoas and paravertebral abscesses, as a complication of osteomyelitis, are frequently associated with Pott’s disease; however, pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis can also result in formation of these abscesses [3]. Such intra-abdominal collections can in rare occasions cause compression of adjacent venous structures and result in deep vein thrombosis [4], [5], [6], [7], [8].…”

Viridans group streptococcus is an infrequent cause of osteomyelitis that is found in association with infective endocarditis. Only a few studies report viridans osteomyelitis in the absence of endocarditis. Vertebral pyogenic osteomyelitis can sometimes be complicated by psoas or paraspinal abscesses. These intra-abdominal and/or pelvic collections can very rarely result in venous thrombosis. A paraspinal abscess resulting in inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis has only been reported once in the literature. We report a case of a young female with a history of polysubstance abuse and chronic back pain, who was found to have extensive vertebral osteomyelitis and discitis with epidural, paraspinal, and psoas abscesses caused by viridans streptococci. These abscesses compressed on the IVC causing IVC thrombophlebitis extending to the iliac veins distally. Imaging also demonstrated multifocal bilateral septic pulmonary emboli and pleural effusions secondary to septic IVC thrombus; a transesophageal echocardiogram showed no evidence of infective endocarditis.

“…The most common etiologies causing an IFDT by a mass effect were bladder distension, vesical diverticulum, and giant hydronephrosis 7 – 9 . RA is rarely seen, and there are only a few cases associated with DVT in the literature 3 . In our case, the IFVT was the consequence of the mass effect of a giant RA due to a kidney infection diffused contiguousness to the retroperitoneal space.…”

“…Stasis secondary to external mass compression of pelvic veins can lead to DVT development 2 . DVT is frequently seen in the lower extremities; however, when seen at the iliac level, intra-abdominal mass effect should be considered 3 . DVT secondary to external compression has been widely reported in the literature.…”

Introduction and Importance: Secondary deep vein thrombosis due to a mass effect on the venous system has been reported in the literature. Venous thrombosis is frequently seen in the lower extremities; however, when seen at the iliac level, the mass effect of an underlying pathology must be considered. Identifying such etiologies guides the management and reduces the risk of recurrences. Case Presentation: In this report, the authors present a case of an extended iliofemoral vein thrombosis caused by a giant retroperitoneal abscess (RA) in a 50-year-old woman with underlying type 2 diabetes mellitus, presenting with painful left leg swelling and fever. Color venous Doppler ultrasonography and computed tomography scan of the abdomen and pelvis findings were compatible with a left voluminous RA compressing the left iliofemoral vein with an extended deep vein thrombosis. Conclusions: The mass effect on the venous system is rare in RAs, but it must be kept in mind. In light of this case and literature review, the authors highlight the diagnosis and management difficulties in handling this unusual presentation form of a RA.
