Abstract
- Injuries of the inferior vena cava (IVC) might be caused by a blunt trauma, which usually affects the retrohepatic portion. Injuries of the infrahepatic IVC are usually caused by penetrating injuries and rarely occur in Korea. We report a case of a penetrating injury of the IVC at the infrahepatic suprarenal portion with a review of other reported cases.
