A case of traumatic intracranial bleeding from a left-sided iliofemoral thrombosis. a–c Follow-up CT of the IVC was obtained 10 days after filter placement. Note the extensive thrombosis (asterisks) in the IVC below the filter and the thickened IVC wall (black arrows) (b). The black arrow (b) marks the tip of the filter. d–g The last CT imaging of the IVC was performed outside the IVC shows one of the struts eroding the lumbar body, exhibiting grade 3 protrusion. The IVC has atrophied below the filter (e, f). Arrow in D marks the tip of the filter. Double white arrows in E mark the IVC as a strip below the filter. The reconstructed CT imaging (g) shows a fractured strut of the filter (black arrow)
