Popis:	Venous anomalies are the most common congenital vascular anomalies. The rarest of these is complete deep venous agenesis. Here,we report a case of a 15-year-old male patient evaluated on color Doppler and computed tomographic venogram with complete rightiliofemoral deep venous agenesis with the inferior vena cava continuing as the left common iliac vein and the right popliteal veindraining into superficial anomalous veins of the thigh. These superficial veins were seen to drain through a superficial suprapubicarcuate connector vein into the dilated left common femoral vein. Uniquely in our case, there was no persistent embryonic sciaticvein and no demonstrable reflux into the superficial connector vein, suggesting an uncommon embryological mechanism underlyingits pathogenesis. Surgical resection of the dilated superficial veins is absolutely contraindicated in cases of deep venous agenesis andhence accurate diagnosis by the radiologist is absolutely essential in such cases.
