“…Ten patients with DVT, eight men and two women, whose mean age was 25 ± 4.5 [range: [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] years, were diagnosed as having IVCA ( Table 1). Five of them reported having a first-degree relative with a history of venous thrombosis.…”

Inferior vena cava agenesis (IVCA) is a rare condition, found in almost 5% of patients under 30 years old with unprovoked deep venous thrombosis (DVT). We describe 10 consecutive patients with IVCA-associated DVT and conducted an extensive literature review to investigate the typical spectrum of IVCA-associated DVT. Among our patients (eight men and two women; mean age, 25 ± 4.5 years), DVT followed intense and unusual (major) physical activity for eight of them. DVT was bilateral in six patients and unilateral in four. Ultrasonography was unable to detect IVCA, which was visualized by computed-tomography scans for seven patients, and magnetic resonance imaging and angiography for 10. Hereditary thrombophilia screening, to detect factor V Leiden or prothrombin gene heterozygosity (G20210A mutation), was positive for only two patients. Wearing elastic stockings and taking an indefinite or long-term vitamin K antagonist were prescribed for all 10 patients and nine complied with the latter. To date, 62 patients with IVCA-associated DVT have been reported in the English literature. Analysis of them and our patients yielded a typical spectrum of IVCA-associated DVT characteristics: IVCA occurs in young adults, particularly males, and is revealed by proximal DVT following major physical exertion. All were treated with a prolonged vitamin K antagonist and advised to wear elastic stockings. No precise duration of anticoagulation has been established.

“…In the lower venous system, the most common abnormalities are interrupted or duplex IVC, presumably secondary to disrupted embryonic development of the IVC itself. [502][503][504][505][506][507][508][509] However, in the upper venous system, thoracic outlet syndrome, eponymously named Paget-Schroetter syndrome, are believed to be due to chronic trauma to the subclavian vein secondary to reduced anatomic space for the vein usually as a result of an abnormal relationship with the fi rst rib, abnormal fi brous bands or muscle development in athletes . [510][511][512][513][514][515][516][517][518][519] Management of the venous thrombosis and the underlying structural abnormality has included acute anticoagulation; both local and systemic thrombolysis through a number of techniques; percutaneous angioplasty; thrombectomy; venous reconstruction; and in the case of PagetSchroetter syndrome, decompression of the thoracic inlet through removal of relevant bone and muscle.…”

We present a rare case associating inferior vena cava's (IVC) complex variations. Anatomical, embryological and clinical aspects are discussed. Duplication's discovery was fortuitous during an abdominal ultrasound and was confirmed by the CT scan. The latter also highlighted azygos continuation, retro aortic renal vein and an iliac venous anomaly. These variants are important to know in order to be able to differentiate them from lymphadenopathy, para-vertebral masses, and aortic pathologies. It is necessary to report them before any retroperitoneal surgery or interventional vascular procedure.
