Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Situs inversus with interrupted inferior vena cava is an uncommon anatomic variant found in the abdominal and thoracic viscera. In this report, we present a 59-year-old woman with this variation, found during gross anatomical dissection. While this type of variation has been variable, in the present case the hepatic veins drained directly into a very short (2.2 cm) inferior vena cava. The infrarenal component of the inferior vena cava was present and drained into the azygos and hemiazygos veins. Clinical considerations of this variant anatomy are of interest, as they may present in patients as pathology on cross sectional imaging. |
