| Popis: | Aneurysms of the inferior vena cava (IVC) are exceedingly rare; less than 50 cases have been reported in the world literature. Owing to the paucity of data regarding the natural history of IVC aneurysms, there is no consensus on their treatment. This case report describes the evaluation of an IVC aneurysm in a 56-year-old male, briefly discusses the embryologic development of the IVC, and revisits the question of whether surgical intervention is indicated in these patients. |
