| Popis: | A 13-year-old boy with congenital absence of the inferior vena above the renal hilum and azygos continuation is presented. Ultrasound and radiological features of focal dilatation of one of the venous collaterals suggested an intra-abdominal mass, causing a diagnostic dilemma. An inferior vena cavogram is the definitive investigation to diagnose this anomaly. Awareness of the condition is important, as injury to the lesion can cause severe haemorrhage and accidental ligation of the azygos vein may be fatal. |
