| Popis: | The authors report six congenital abnormalities of the inferior vena cava detected on computed tomography (CT). The CT findings of one of these, the left inferior vena cava, have not been previously reported. The embryology of the inferior vena cava and the possible congenital abnormalities that can occur are discussed. Congenital abnormalities of the inferior vena cava are rare but potentially important to the radiologist, the surgeon, and the patient. They are easily identified on CT and should be considered when interpreting any CT of the abdomen or chest. |
