“…The infrahepatic segment of the IVC may be divided in three parts: suprarenal, renal and infrarenal; the right subcardinal vein becomes the suprarenal segment; the supracardinal anastomoses with the subcardinal vein originates the renal segment, and the infrarenal segment emerges from the right supracardinal vein 1,5,8,9 . Agenesis of the IVC suggests the simultaneous occurrence of a defect in all three embryonic segments 1,4,6,8 .…”

“…In total absence of IVC, the venous drainage through thoracolumbar, pelvic and abdominal veins may result in symptoms on thorax, hypogastrium, lumbar and genital regions before the occurrence of lower limbs' DVT 6 . Although these symptoms are rare and unspecific, their early detection in young patients may indicate the presence of an IVC malformation 5 .…”

A agenesia da veia cava inferior é uma anomalia congênita rara, que foi recentemente identificada como um importante fator de risco para o desenvolvimento e a recorrência de trombose venosa profunda de membros inferiores em jovens. O objetivo deste trabalho foi relatar o caso de uma paciente que apresentou trombose venosa profunda dois meses após a realização de cirurgia de varizes. A angiotomografia computadorizada demonstrou a presença de anomalia venosa complexa com ausência da veia cava inferior.

Congenital malformations of the inferior vena cava (IVC) are uncommon and may be associated with an increased risk of venous thrombosis. We report the case of a man with congenital absence of the IVC and remote history of deep venous thrombosis who now presents with severe abdominal wall superficial thrombophlebitis. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with IVC absence who has developed both deep and superficial venous thromboses. Am. J. Hematol. 83:250-252, 2008. V

Bilateral proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the lower extremities of young patients should raise suspicion over pro-thrombotic conditions and venous anatomical abnormalities, even in the presence of other precipitating factors, such as viral infection. The authors present a 33-year-old man with bilateral DVT and absence of inferior vena cava (AIVC), who also had concurrent COVID-19, and discuss the management of this patient.

Congenital Anomalies of the Inferior Vena Cava Revealed on CT in Patients with Deep Vein Thrombosis

Abstract: An anomaly of the inferior vena cava should be considered in young patients who present with deep vein thrombosis of the femoral and iliac veins. Coagulation abnormalities, frequently found in these patients, may be a contributory factor.
