Rare congenital anomaly of the inferior vena cava
نویسنده
چکیده
Congenital anomaly of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a well described phenomenon [1,2]. These anomalies include complete absence, partial absence or duplication of the IVC [3]. Such anomalies of the IVC are seen more frequently in those with other congenital cardiac anomalies (0.6%–2%) [4]. This congenital condition can be discovered incidentally, or due to symptoms of associated congenital heart disease, asplenia, polysplenia, congenital kidney anomalies or deep venous thrombosis [1,2,3].

Congenital vascular anomalies are although rare but may cause serious complications. Vascular pathologies are best demonstrated by contrast enhanced computed tomography, with the advent of multidetector computed tomography and applying multiplanar reformation techniques.
