Abstract:

The most common inferior vena cava (IVC) malformation is hypoplasia of the pre-renal and renal segment followed by those in the post-renal segment and presence of double IVC. IVC malformation is reported to have equal gender predilection and occur in about 8.7% of the population. This is a case of a 25-year-old woman in her puerperal period presenting with abdominopelvic discomfort and bilateral lower limb swelling. The patient had abdominopelvic ultrasound scan and computed tomographic angiography, the ultrasound showed a cystic pelvic mass that seem continues with a dilated IVC. The angiography showed tortuous and dilated left iliac vessels with areas of filling defects; thrombi. Hypoplastic right common iliac vein with a dilated left renal vein and dilated IVC was also demonstrated. The patient has been on anticoagulation therapy with close monitoring by both cardiovascular and hematology units of the hospital. We report the radiologic findings of this case due to its unique nature and incidental presentation in the index case.
