    Author: Atay M, Kocakoc E.
    Journal: Curr Med Imaging; 2022; 18(11):1240-1243. PubMed ID: 35346001.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) agenesis, ectopic ureterocele, and ureteral duplication are very rare congenital anomalies. CASE PRESENTATION: A-25-year-old female patient was referred with right flank pain, chills and dysuria. Laboratory tests and CT showed findings consistent with acute pyelonephritis. The medical history revealed only frequent urinary tract infections and Factor V Leiden mutation. The patient was treated with antibiotherapy. CT examination demonstrated IVC Agenesis (IVCA). Urogenital anomalies such as vaginal ectopic ureterocele, ureteral duplication and septate uterine anomaly were also present. CONCLUSION: We report the first occurrence of IVC agenesis associated with multiple urogenital anomalies in the literature.
