Deskripsi

Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) agenesis is an unusual cause of deep vein thrombosis, particularly in young individuals. We report a case of a 28-year-old Indian female presenting with recurrent abortions, multiple episodes of deep vein thrombosis and clinically positive for lupus anticoagulant. CECT abdomen demonstrates complete/partial agenesis of IVC and delineates the superficial and deep collateral pathways which develop subsequent to IVC agenesis.
