Inferior Vena Cava Duplication and Deep Venous Thrombosis: Case Report and Review of Literature

Uterus didelphys with an obstructed unilateral vagina by a transverse vaginal septum associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis, duplication of inferior vena cava, high-riding aortic bifurcation, and intestinal malrotation: a case report

“…Anne et al (18) mentioned about a case associated with a deep venous thrombosis. In our patient, there was no such symptom.…”

Double inferior vena cava with interiliac vein: A case report and literature review

“…The interiliac vein might cause problems due to unexpected hemorrhage during retroperitoneal surgery, as in anterior lumbar interbody fusion, because it runs across in front of the anterior lumbar and sacral region 6) . This vein serves as a decisive factor in determining the strategy for venous interventional radiology, as in IVC filter placement, because congenital IVC anomalies are a possible risk factor for deep venous thrombosis, particularly in young adults 5) . Therefore, we simply classified pelvic venous variations according to the pattern of the interiliac vein.…”

“…However, these venous anomalies may have significant clinical implications, especially during retroperitoneal surgery and venous interventional radiology 4) . There were several case reports of deep venous thrombosis occurring in patients with duplicated IVC 5) . In particular, the pelvic venous variations of the anterior lumbar and sacral region could potentially cause unexpected hemorrhage with the increased use of the less invasive orthopedic anterior lumbar interbody fusion 6) .…”

Extensive Deep Venous Thrombosis in a Young Male Patient as the First Manifestation of a Rare Venous Anomaly – Inferior Vena Cava Duplication: Case Report

“…Anomalies of IVC are rare in the general population, and duplications of the IVC are a very rare fi nding in radiologic studies, with an incidence of 0.2% to 3.0% 18 . Th e earliest reported case of duplication of the IVC was reported in 1912 19 , the majority of later cases were diagnosed accidentally by imaging for other reasons 18 , but during the last 100 years, there are just a few reported cases involving IVC duplication in association with DVT 10,15,17,18,20 . In general, diagnosis of IVC anomaly was in most of the cases established by angio-computer tomography (angio-CT) 5,21,22 , and angio-CT and angio-magnetic resonance imaging (angio-MRI) are the imaging methods that can provide the diagnosis 14,16,22 .…”
