CECT (contrast-enhanced computed tomography) of the abdomen shows the presence of two IVCs on either side of the aorta. The left IVC is larger than the right IVC.
Case Discussion
Duplicated IVC is a congenital abnormality resulting from the persistence of both supracardinal veins. It occurs in 0.2-0.5% of the population.
Normally the left IVC is smaller than the right but as seen in this case, the left IVC is bigger than the right.
