“…5 A summary of available case reports suggests up to 41% risk of complications in patients with untreated IVC aneurysm including development of venous thrombosis and PE. 5,8 In some cases, patients have been anticoagulated due to existing thrombus burden 1,9 ; however in cases of IVC aneurysms without intramural thrombus, there is currently no evidence for anticoagulation.…”

“…A focally dilated segment of IVC is described as aneurysmal if it is persistently larger than the normal IVC diameter described as 1.5-3.7 cm. 1 Diagnosis of IVC aneurysms is typically incidental, found on imaging modalities performed for other causes including abdominal pain and trauma. With increased use of computed tomography (CT) imaging including in the context of trauma, it is probable we will encounter this pathology more frequently.…”

Inferior vena cava (IVC) aneurysms remain rare vascular entities that carry significant morbidity and potential mortality. Given the paucity of literature on this clinical entity, there is no consensus regarding management guidelines, and it is important to continue to add to the current literature body. In this report, we describe the case of a 64-year-old male diagnosed with a type III IVC aneurysm. Here, we describe this clinical presentation and discuss our management of this aneurysm in the context of the wider, yet limited literature body.

“…Their pathogenesis remains unknown . They can be easily diagnosed with noninvasive imaging such as ultrasonography (US), X‐ray computed tomography (CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) . To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of an IVC aneurysm due to mural vascular malformation.…”

Ruptured inferior vena cava aneurysm in the setting of mural vascular malformation: A case report

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.

“…Some patients present with pain and limb edema [1]. However, it can be lethal if complications occur, such as thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or bleeding result from the rupture of the aneurysm [4,9]. The etiology of IVC aneurysm is classified into a congenital or acquired form.…”

Caudal vena cava aneurysm in a cat with Eisenmenger Syndrome

A seven-month-old cat was referred for evaluation of exercise intolerance and open-mouth breathing. Based on ultrasonographic examination, caudal vena cava (CVC) aneurysm associated with right congestive heart failure resulting from congenital heart disease was diagnosed. Conservative treatment for alleviating pulmonary hypertension mildly improved the clinical signs and decreased the heart size and CVC aneurysm diameter. However, the improvements were transient and four months after initiating therapy, the cat developed dyspnea and uncontrollable seizures and was euthanized.
