We present a patient with an IVC filter strut protruding into the duodenum causing a contained perforation. She is a young female with a history of May-Thurner syndrome with an IVC filter who presented to the hospital with post-prandial abdominal pain. A computed tomography scan showed a contained perforation of the third portion of the duodenum caused by a strut of the IVC filter.
