“…Because the symptoms are non-specific, imaging tests like ultrasonography, contrast-enhanced CT, magnetic resonance imaging and cavography play a vital role in the diagnosis of IVC aneurysms [ 6 ]. However, some IVC aneurysms could be confused with retroperitoneal tumors, such as renal carcinoma, sarcomas, enlarged lymph nodes, neurogenic tumors and primary IVC tumors [ 7 – 9 ], especially when the lumen of the aneurysm is completely thrombosed [ 8 ]. Therefore, comprehensive consideration of various imaging tests results can increase the accuracy of diagnosis.…”

Background Inferior vena cava (IVC) aneurysms are extremely rare with variable clinical manifestations. Patients are usually asymptomatic or present with complications of thrombosis and rupture. To date, there have been only a few reports of the condition in the literature, and diagnosis of IVC aneurysms may be difficult. Case presentation A 33-year-old male patient presented to hospital because of a retroperitoneal mass found by computerized tomography during a health examination. He was asymptomatic, and post medical history and physical examination were unremarkable. Laboratory tests including tests for paraganglioma were all negative. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan revealed a stenosis of IVC in the suprarenal segment and two retroperitoneal mass on the right side of IVC. The larger one is about 3 cm in diameter and the smaller one is about 1 cm in diameter, which was considered as a retroperitoneal tumor with an enlarged lymph node. However, two IVC diverticular aneurysms were confirmed during the retroperitoneal laparoscopic exploration. The larger aneurysm was resected from the IVC successfully. Since the smaller aneurysm was about 1 cm in diameter without thrombosis, we did not resect it during surgery. The patient recovered well from surgery and discharged from our department successfully. Conclusions This is the first report of multiple IVC aneurysms. Because of the extremely low prevalence of IVC diverticular aneurysm, it may be misdiagnosed as other disease. Due to the high rate of thrombosis, surgical treatment especially retroperitoneal laparoscopy is recommended for small diverticular aneurysms.

“…Aneurysm of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare pathological condition. 1 From the first case reported by Oh et al 2 in 1973 until today, there have been a very few reports in the medical literature. IVC aneurysms have various presentations, form incidental discovery to lethal condition.…”

Aneurysm of the inferior vena cava is a rare anomaly with a very few reported cases worldwide. We report the case of a 26‐years‐old man with acute severe abdominal pain and hypovolemic shock following an episode of syncope. Ultrasonography showed a fusiform aneurysmal dilation of the infra‐hepatic inferior vena cava (IVC), with a large saccular portion at its posterolateral wall and mural thrombosis. Abdominal computed tomography scan revealed extension to the right renal vein and adhesion to the right kidney. The saccular aneurysm and the right kidney were resected, and anatomopathological examination revealed a cavernous hemangioma. All symptoms disappeared after surgery. This is the first reported case of symptomatic congenital saccular aneurysm of the IVC due to mural vascular malformation and with involvement of the right kidney leading to nephrectomy.
