Complete Duplication of Inferior Vena Cava Coexisting with Double Superior Vena Cava In Situ Solitus: Hitherto Unreported Pattern

Abstract: Congenital anomalies of inferior vena cava are increasingly being recognized with the technical advancements and increased utilization of cross-sectional imaging techniques. Duplication of inferior vena cava classically involves duplication of the infrarenal segment, where both inferior vena cava ascend on either side of the abdominal aorta until they form a confluence at the level of the renal veins. It has been extensively described in literature with few reports of more complex variation in the form of duplicated infrarenal inferior vena cava with azygos or hemiazygos continuation. This article describes extremely rare complete duplication of inferior vena cava involving both suprarenal and infrarenal segments. Moreover, the complete duplication of inferior vena cava is seen in association with concomitant double superior vena cava, in a patient with visceroatrial situs solitus and associated congenital heart disease, which to the best of our knowledge, has not been reported so far in literature. This study also highlights the utility of multidetector computed tomography in accurate identification of such anomalies.
