Abstract
Aims: We review the literature pertaining to the implications of the rare anomaly of double vena cava.
Presentation of Case: A 20 year old male treated for polycystic kidney disease went for a computed tomography (CT) renal for microscopic hematuria and incidentally noted a double inferior vena cava.
Discussion: Double inferior vena cava is a rare congenital venous anomaly. It usually does not cause any symptoms and is incidentally seen during radiological imaging such as computed tomography for other medical conditions.
Conclusion: The discovery of this rare embryological feature in a patient during retroperitoneal surgery may increase the risk of surgery and intraoperative complications.
