A left inferior vena cava with crossover to the right: a case report
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction Variations of the anatomy of the inferior vena cava (IVC) are quite common given the complex nature of the embryologic development of the venous system [1–3]. Cases of absent IVC [4], double IVC, transposition of IVC (also known as a left IVC) have all been documented [5]. Other well-founded variations are a persistent left IVC [1] and malformations associated with right renal aplasia, renal hypoplasia and hypertrophic kidneys [3–5].
