Abstract
Abstract. We report a case of extensive early postpartum acute suprarenal inferior vena cava thrombosis in a 14-year-old girl. Management included catheter-directed-thrombolysis, aiming to save renal function and prevent fatal pulmonary embolism. Treatment decisions were mostly based on adult guidelines, as guidelines for the paediatric population are not yet available.
