Thrombosis of the aorta and inferior vena cava is a rare sequela of blunt abdominal trauma. Inferior vena caval thrombosis developed in a 55-year-old man after blunt abdominal trauma. It was detected 18 days after injury through the use of computed tomography. The patient was treated with a Greenfield filter and anticoagulation.
