Inferior vena cava (IVC) aneurysms are an extremely rare entity, but can be life threatening for their complications including pulmonary embolism and rupture. We report a new case of saccular type III IVC aneurysm presented with thrombosis and complicated by bilateral phlegmasia cerulea dolens (PCD). The challenge was twofold, treat the PCD and the IVC aneurysm.
