Absence of inferior vena cava is an uncommon congenital abnormality. It is usually associated with other structural anomalies, typically left isomerism. We report a case of interrupted inferior vena cava with azygos continuation diagnosed as an isolated finding during routine prenatal ultrasound scan, confirmed by post-natal echocardiography. Detailed ultrasound examination of the fetal anatomy failed to demonstrate other anomalies. The neonatal course of this fetus was uneventful.
下腔静脉缺如是一种罕见的先天性异常。它通常与其他结构异常相关,典型的是左位异构。我们报告一例下腔静脉中断伴奇静脉延续的病例,该病例在常规产前超声扫描时被诊断为孤立性发现,并经产后超声心动图证实。对胎儿解剖结构进行的详细超声检查未发现其他异常。该胎儿的新生儿期过程顺利。
