Double Cranial Vena Cava in a Cow: Case Report and Review of the Literature

Abstract: Summary A case of persistent left cranial vena cava in a twelve‐year‐old Jersey cow is described. The resulting anomaly, known as double cranial vena cava, appears to be very rare in domestic animals. A review of the literature revealed that this was the fifth case of persistent left cranial vena cava to be reported in the bovine species. A total of 57 other cases were reported in animals, of which 39 were in dogs, 13 in cats, two in horses and one each in the pig, goat and donkey. Only in dogs was the anomalo… Show more

“…The abnormalities of the vessels near the heart may be attributable to the developmental failure in the early embryological stages. In a calf without EC, double cranial vena cava was said to be extremely rare, while it is probably developed when the anastomosis between the left and right anterior cardinal veins failed to be formed [11]. Double azygos vein observed in the present calf might resulted due to a lack of anastomosis between the left and right supracardinal veins.…”

“…The existence of this vein was found in rodents such as rats (Halpern 1953) and mice (Ciszek et al 2007). Only a few cases of the VCCS have been described in cats, cattle (Sekeles 1982) and marsupialia (Dowd 1974).…”
