Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Iliofemoral thrombophlebitis characteristically presents as acute inflammation and swelling of the affected extremity. We report a patient in whom the presenting complaints of high fever, nausea and left lower quadrant pain mimicked an acute abdomen. The diagnosis was confirmed by venogram after gallium scan and computer tomographic scan revealed abnormalities consistent with iliofemoral thrombophlebitis. This is the first report of abnormal gallium uptake in iliofemoral thrombophlebitis. Current methods of diagnosing this disorder are discussed and the literature reviewed. |
