“…1 6 Factor V Leiden, prothrombin 20210 and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene mutation, low protein S levels, high homocysteine concentration and antiphospholipid antibodies represent the thrombophilia subtypes commonly associated with DVT. [4][5][6][7] As illustrated in our case, the patient had an elevated factor VIII level with heterozygous mutation of prothrombin gene and positive lupus anticoagulant.…”

“…(3) Absence of the entire IVC, as in our patient's case, suggests that all three paired vein systems failed to develop properly [10], but it has no relation to the other congenital anomalies described previously [11].…”

“…The hepatic segment drains directly into the right atrium, and the blood from the infrarenal IVC returns to the heart through the azygos and hemiazygos veins [8,10]. There is association with other cardiac and visceral anomalies, such as dextrocardia, atrial septal defect, atrioventricular canal, situsinversus, polysplenia,or asplenia [9,11,12]. …”

“…An inadequate blood return through collaterals may increase the venous blood pressure in the veins of the legs, thus facilitating deep venous thrombosis (DVT) [9,13]. The dysgenesis of the IVC has been described in coincidence with clotting defects [1,11,13,14]. This paper describes a case of complex congenital malformation with absent IVC in association with azygous continuation, patent anterior abdominal wall venous collaterals, varicocoele, and lower limb varicosed veins.…”

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. However, ultrasound color Doppler and catheter angiography are accessory imaging modalities utilized to rule out vascular anomalies. We present here a case series of 2 patients aged 19 years and 54 years, diagnosed with congenital vascular anomalies (agenesis of inferior vena cava and hypo plastic infra renal segment of inferior vena cava). The development of inferior vena cava (IVC) includes early embryogenesis stages including formation, confluence and involution of three primary longitudinal venous systems. Agenesis of inferior vena cava or hypoplasia of segment of inferior vena cava leads to formation of collaterals to maintain the venous flow. Contrast enhanced computed tomography with multiplanar reformation provides ulterior spatial and contrast resolution in cases of recognized vascular abnormalities. Inferior vena cava obstruction due to thrombosis or congenital vascular anomaly leads to extensive collateralization accompanied by varicose veins. In our case series, we found contrast enhanced computed tomography as an ulterior modality in setting ultimate diagnosis with accuracy and maximum detail.

Congenital malformations of the inferior vena cava (IVC) are uncommon and may be associated with an increased risk of venous thrombosis. We report the case of a man with congenital absence of the IVC and remote history of deep venous thrombosis who now presents with severe abdominal wall superficial thrombophlebitis. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with IVC absence who has developed both deep and superficial venous thromboses. Am. J. Hematol. 83:250-252, 2008. V
