Giant Hepatic Cyst Inducing Near Syncope
Hepatic cysts occasionally produce complications associated with severe morbidity and mortality (<1% of all identified cases). Compression of the vasculature leading to syncope, however, is rare. We present a striking case of inferior vena cava compression by a large hepatic cyst, likely inducing...
