Overview

Case report demonstrates incidental duplication of the inferior vena cava in a surgical patient, highlighting the importance of preoperative vascular mapping.

Key Points

  • Document a rare congenital vascular anomaly involving duplication of the inferior vena cava and associated venous variations detected during routine preoperative imaging.
  • Clinical and radiological evaluation of a 34-year-old patient admitted for surgical management of a segment I hepatic cyst.
  • Diagnostic evaluation performed via contrast-injected abdominopelvic computed tomography.
  • Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed duplication of the inferior vena cava characterized by two parallel venous segments draining each hemi-body.
  • Imaging identified concurrent azygos continuation secondary to absence of the hepatic inferior vena cava segment, along with a retroaortic left renal vein.
