Deep vein thrombosis and inferior vena cava agenesis
We report the case of a 13-year old male patient who presented with a right swollen limb. A magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) revealed inferior vena cava agenesis (IVCA) which was regarded as the etiologic factor for the deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the patient. IVCA is a rare vascular abnormali...
