Congenital vena cava inferior agenesis
نویسنده
چکیده
A patient aged 25 years with lower extremity deep vein thrombosis in the course of vena cava inferior agenesis is described. This very rare malformation can be connected with chronic venous insufficiency or thrombotic complications. In such cases other congenital abnormalities should be excluded and suspicion of vena cava inferior agenesis should always be taken into consideration in young patients with idiopathic deep vein thrombosis.
