Conclusion
Our case emphasizes the importance of performing a complete
hypercoagulable workup on any patient who presents with DVT.
Furthermore, our findings underline the importance of homocysteine
levels in the diagnosis of venous thrombosis. IVC thrombosis is a less
prevalent and less well-known condition than lower extremity thrombosis,
and early intervention is indeed essential well before development of
pulmonary embolism.
