A Case of Double Inferior Vena Cava: A Case Report
Asian Journal of Case Reports in Surgery · pp. 245–249 · Published 30 Apr 2024
Abstract
The incidence of double inferior vena cava (IVC) ranges from 0.2% to 3%. Most of the cases of double IVC are diagnosed incidentally from imaging given it has a lack of symptoms and clinical findings. Embryogenesis of IVC is very complicated hence predisposing to diverse anomalies. These anomalies are usually of no clinical significance however may predispose to thromboembolism likely due to venous stasis. The abnormal vessels also can be misdiagnosed as masses which can cause massive haemorrhage if mismanaged. In this report, we present a 14 years old boy, who was incidentally diagnosed to have double IVC from computed tomography (CT) done for other reasons.
