Sudden death of a female adolescent due to inferior vena cava thrombosis and pulmonary embolism
Abstract
Despite the fact that considerable advances were seen in diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary embolism since last decades, it is still a seriously mortal condition. Although pulmonary embolism is very rare in children and young people, it can be extremely deadly. Vena cava inferior thrombosis might give rise to pulmonary embolism. Association of vena cava inferior thrombosis and pulmonary embolism might be unthought of particularly in adolescents or young adults, and difficult to manage for the clinicians.

Keywords : Adolescent, pulmonary embolism, vena cava inferior thrombosis.
