Hypoplasia of Infrarenal Inferior Vena Cava: An Infrequent Cause of Repetitive Deep Vein Thrombosis and its Effects
Journal Title: Journal of Hematology & Thrombosis - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Congenital anomalies such as the defects of inferior vena cava (IVC) are not common, however these alterations obtained from a poor embryo development benefit venous stasis which, inconsequence, will trigger a deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This diagnosis must be considered for young patients who have no evident risks of spontaneous and bilateral DVT. We introduce a clinical case of a 39 year-old male with iliofemoral DVT who presented recurring DVT after the withdrawal of anticoagulation, with no other predisposing factor.
