Duplication of the inferior vena cava is a rare malformation, normally without clinical impact, explained by abnormal development and regression of certain segments of the venous system during embryonic life. However, its presence and type should be systematically reported in the radiological report because of its potential implications for diagnostic and interventional procedures. This observation describes the case of a 77-year-old man with a complete asymmetric duplication of the inferior vena cava (type III IVC according to Natsis) that was incidentally discovered on CT-scan.
下腔静脉重复是一种罕见的畸形，通常无临床影响，这是由胚胎期静脉系统某些节段的异常发育和退化所导致的。然而，由于其对诊断和介入操作可能产生影响，因此在放射学报告中应系统地报告其存在情况及类型。本病例报告描述了一名77岁男性，其下腔静脉完全不对称重复（根据纳齐斯分类为III型下腔静脉），在CT扫描时偶然发现。
