Double inferior vena cava with L-type crossed fused renal ectopia: A rare case report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research and Review - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Duplication of the inferior vena cava (IVC), a rare anomaly reported to occur in 0.2-3% of the population and is known to be associated with various urogenital tract anomalies such as horseshoe kidneys, crossed fused ectopia and circumaortic renal collar, retroaortic left renal vein and cloacal exstrophy. Inferior vena cava anomalies are rare, Some of such variations have significant clinical, surgical and radiological implications related to other cardiovascular anomalies and in some cases associated with venous thrombosis of lower limbs, particularly in young adults due to the inappropriate venous return increases the pressure, leading to blood stasis in lower extremities and development of varices. Left-sided IVC may cause misdiagnosis with para-aortic lymph node enalargement, and may cause difficulties in the transjugular approach for IVC filter implantation. So, these anomalies should be recognized carefully. Key-words: Double IVC ; L- type crossed fused renal ectopia
