Central venous catheterization (CVC) is a common procedure in the perioperative period, and thrombosis is one of the well-known complications of CVC. If the thrombus comes free from the vascular wall, it may cause serious problems such as pulmonary embolism. However, in some cases of inferior vena cava thrombosis, the patient has no symptoms, and thrombus is detected accidentally. A case in which asymptomatic thrombus in the inferior vena cava was incidentally detected following removal of the CV catheter after an oral surgical procedure is described.
