Özet

A 20-year-old pregnant woman was admitted to our department with symptoms of deep venous thrombosis in the left lower extremity and excessive lumbar pain. Low-molecular-weight heparin was administered. She recovered with this treatement, however, severe lumbar pain continued. A lumbar magnetic resonance imageg showed dilated epidural veins compressing the roots and acute thrombosis of the inferior vena cava extending to renal veins. During the same period she had acute deep venous thrombosis in her right leg. An urgent venous thrombectomy was performed. Sciatica and deep venous thrombosis resolved after the operation. Low-molecular-weight heparin was administered until the end of her pregnancy.
