Bilateral inferior venae cava combined with the persistent left superior vena cava and hemiazygos continuation of left inferior vena cava with drainage into right atrium: A case report.

Echocardiography 2023 May 2
The persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a common venous abnormality. However, malformation of the bilateral inferior venae cava (IVC) is extremely rare, with an incidence rate of .3%. IVC malformation is associated most frequently with heart defects and isomerism and often has a poor prognosis. We presented a case of vascular malformations in the fetus of bilateral caval veins with the interruption of the left-sided venous return with hemiazygos continuation in presence of a right-sided inferior caval vein. Also noted were the PLSVC and a dilated right heart with a widened pulmonary trunk. In this case, there were no heart defects or chromosomal abnormalities, and the newborn postpartum was in a good condition.
