Radiologic anatomy of duplication of the inferior vena cava: a trap in abdominal imaging. A report of 8 cases.

摘要: Eight cases of duplication the inferior vena cava are reported. Three these bear witness to errors interpretation that may be committed when anomaly is not initially detected in ultrasonographic transverse sections and no preliminary phlebography available. Two other illustrate influence this on choice prophylactic surgical treatment pulmonary embolism. The last clinical observation indicates need puncture both femoral veins performing iliocaval phlebography. Finally, two observations cadaver help clarify imaging appearances anomaly. report concludes with a review classical anatomic pathogenic concepts short discussion practical problems posed by cava.
