“…The only association of an anomalous IVC, a left sided IVC and a neoplasm reported has been with a case of a Wilms tumor [5]. The resection became straightforward due to the prior delineation of the left IVC with preoperative imaging.…”

“…With the progress in cross-sectional imaging, these anomalies have become more frequently encountered in asymptomatic patients [1]. Although these may go unnoticed in the lifetime of the patient, quandary arises when these anomalies are associated with surgically correctable lesions in their vicinity [2][3][4][5]. Knowledge of these anomalies and accurate recognition before attempting surgery definitely facilitates the surgical resection and avoids catastrophic events.…”

The contemporaneous occurrence of adrenal ganglioneuroma and left-sided inferior vena cava is uncommon and is previously never reported. We present a case wherein the two entities were fortuitously associated on preoperative imaging. This information facilitated successful surgical resection and avoided catastrophic vascular injury. A review of literature of the common venous anomaly affecting therapeutic decision-making is also presented.

“…These principles enable good tumour clearance while minimising the morbidity of surgery. Variations in vascular anatomy may be unexpected and challenging.Previous case studies have reported the association of IVC anomalies with Wilms' tumour(2) and ganglioneuroma(3) in children. However, this is the first case report of an abdominal neuroblastoma found in a child with a left IVC anomaly.…”

Congenital anomalies of the inferior vena cava are rare. Such anomalies pose great challenges to the surgeon in neuroblastoma surgery, especially when unrecognised preoperatively. We report the first case of an abdominal neuroblastoma detected in a child with a developmental anomaly of the left-sided inferior vena cava. The patient underwent surgical resection after good response to preoperative chemotherapy.

Left-sided and duplicate inferior vena cava (IVC) are two major anatomical variants within the spectrum of IVC malformations, both of which are developmental abnormalities of the supracardinal veins. Four clinical cases are described to highlight the computed tomographic appearances of these vascular malformations and provide novel data on venous dimensions. A systematic review of the recent literature (2000-2011) was conducted focusing on the anatomy, demographics, and associated pathology (congenital and acquired) of isolated left-sided and duplicate IVC. A total of 73 relevant articles were retrieved, consisting of case reports and small case series. The prevalence of left-sided IVC is about 0.1-0.4% and that for duplicate IVC about 0.3-0.4%; both anomalies show a slight male preponderance. In each condition, there are documented variations in the course and tributaries of the IVC. The clinical importance of these anomalies lies in three principal areas: the potential for misdiagnosis on imaging; technical difficulties during retroperitoneal surgery (particularly abdominal aortic aneurysm repair and live donor nephrectomy); and their significance in relation to the etiology and management of venous thromboembolism.
