Abstract

Aneurysm of the inferior vena cava is a rare anomaly with a very few reported cases worldwide. We report the case of a 26-years-old man with acute severe abdominal pain and hypovolemic shock following an episode of syncope. Ultrasonography showed a fusiform aneurysmal dilation of the infra-hepatic inferior vena cava (IVC), with a large saccular portion at its posterolateral wall and mural thrombosis. Abdominal computed tomography scan revealed extension to the right renal vein and adhesion to the right kidney. The saccular aneurysm and the right kidney were resected, and anatomopathological examination revealed a cavernous hemangioma. All symptoms disappeared after surgery. This is the first reported case of symptomatic congenital saccular aneurysm of the IVC due to mural vascular malformation and with involvement of the right kidney leading to nephrectomy.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Cavernous Hemangioma

Cavernous hemangioma is a blood vessel defect or benign tumor that leads to leakage of blood to the surrounding tissues. This can occur in several organs including the brain, which can lead to seizures. Discover the latest research on cavernous hemangiomas here.
