Abstract
BACKGROUND: Venous thromboembolic disease rarely presents as a complication of uterine leiomyomata via inferior vena cava compression. CASE REPORT: We describe a case associated with venous thrombotic disease and subsequent pulmonary emboli and discuss the complexities of Emergency Department (ED) management. CONCLUSION: This case typifies the challenge of caring for the ill patient with multiple, potentially related disease processes whose treatments may actually conflict with one another.
