“…IVC aneurysms are rare vascular pathologies, with variable clinical presentation, from asymptomatic aneurysms to severe life‐threatening conditions . Compared to arterial aneurysms, venous aneurysm have a much lower incidence, and among them, IVC aneurysms are extremely rare . Their etiology is still unknown.…”

“…CT angiography provides 3D imaging with a high degree of anatomic detail, and is often able to demonstrate complications as well as underlying causes such as tumors or vascular wall lesions or malformation, as in our case. It should be performed in any patient with abdominal pain or US‐diagnosed IVC aneurysm . However, in some special cases, venography and interventional radiology are necessary, especially when endovascular treatment is considered in selected patients without complication …”

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.

“…8,13 Some authors believe that IVC aneurysms should be resected to prevent the complications of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. 2,24 At the same time, one case of IVC aneurysm with associated deep venous thrombosis was successfully treated with thrombolysis and warfarin anticoagulation. 6 …”

Aneurysms of the inferior vena cava (IVC) are exceedingly rare; less than 50 cases have been reported in the world literature. Owing to the paucity of data regarding the natural history of IVC aneurysms, there is no consensus on their treatment. This case report describes the evaluation of an IVC aneurysm in a 56-year-old male, briefly discusses the embryologic development of the IVC, and revisits the question of whether surgical intervention is indicated in these patients.

Aneurysm of the inferior vena cava: case report

Venous aneurysms are uncommon. Despite their infrequency, venous aneurysms can present with significant clinical complications such as thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and death. In this report, we present the case of a thrombosed inferior vena cava aneurysm discovered in a 16-year-old male who had deep vein thrombosis of the right lower extremity. Thrombosis of the inferior vena cava is uncommon in the pediatric population. Therefore, congenital abnormalities such as an inferior vena cava aneurysm should be considered when evaluating pediatric patients who present with deep vein thrombosis.
