Hypoplasia of the inferior vena cava in a young man presenting with extensive deep venous thrombosis

Abstract: SUMMARYWe present a case of a 34-year-old man with extensive deep venous thrombosis (DVT) who was found to have multiple abnormalities of venous anatomy, notably hypoplasia of the inferior vena cava with azygous continuation. DVT has an annual incidence of around 1 in 1000 people in the UK. Many cases will have readily identifiable risk factors, such as underlying malignancy, immobility or thrombophilia, but at times, these might not be so straightforward and unexpected contributing factors may be found.

“…PCDT, compared to systemic anticoagulation alone, significantly decreases the thrombus burden and incidence of recurrent DVT in patients with extensive iliofemoral DVT [ 18 ]. PCDT could be a treatment option in patients with symptomatic iliofemoral DVT, good functional status, life expectancy of 1 year or more, and low risk of bleeding [ 19 ]. However, studies focusing on the long-term outcomes following PPCDT are desperately needed as evidence is lacking.…”

“…Following the detachment of thrombi, patients may experience pulmonary embolism and respiratory distress (5,6). Furthermore, DVT may progress to post-thrombotic syndrome, which seriously affects patient quality of life and may cause pain (7).…”
