Vein thrombosis in a patient with agenesis of the inferior vena cava

چکیده
We report a 29 year-old woman with bilateral deep vein thrombosis. CT-scan was performed and an agenesia of the inferior vena cava was found. We provide a brief review of the embryogenesis of the inferior vena cava, and of anomalies in the genesis of this vessel. In young patients with idiopathic deep venous thrombosis the existence of an abnormality in the inferior vena cava should be considered.
