Abstract EN
Inferior vena cava agenesis (IVCA) is a rare congenital anomaly that can be asymptomatic or present with vague, nonspecific symptoms, such as abdominal or lower back pain, or deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Here, we present a 55-year-old male who came with painless swelling and redness of his left lower limb.
On examination, swelling and redness were noted extending from the left foot to the upper thigh; it was also warm compared to his right lower limb.
Venous Doppler ultrasound was done which showed DVT extending up to the common femoral vein.
Subsequently, computed-tomography (CT) of the chest and abdomen was done to exclude malignancy or venous flow obstruction; it revealed congenital absence (agenesis) of the infrarenal inferior vena cava (IVC).
