Article Title: CT demonstration of infected SVC thrombus
Abstract: We report a case in which computed tomography (CT) demonstrated gas within a thrombus in the superior vena cava in a patient with fever of unknown origin (FUO), indicating that the thrombus was infected. This CT finding is important to recognize, as it affects subsequent therapy.
