“…In our patient, there was no communication between the two cellars veins but in about 70% of reported cases, we find inter iliac anastomosis. This is presented as a vein draining blood from a IVV to the contralateral one [9]. Forensic Medicine and Anatomy Research Taking into account the size of the double ICV and the pre-aortic trunk, a morphological classification of this anomaly was proposed [4].…”

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.
