Hemiazygos continuation of a left-sided inferior vena cava (IVC) is an extremely rare developmental anomaly. We present the case of a male patient in whom this condition was incidentally discovered during a thoraco-abdominopelvic CT scan. With the widespread use of contrast-enhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonance angiography, the detection of congenital IVC anomalies has become more accessible. These anomalies are often found incidentally during imaging performed for other clinical reasons. Awareness of this anomaly is crucial before any surgical or endovascular procedures to avoid potential complications.
左侧下腔静脉(IVC)半奇静脉延续是一种极其罕见的发育异常。我们报告一例男性患者,该病症在胸腹部盆腔CT扫描时被偶然发现。随着增强计算机断层扫描和磁共振血管造影的广泛应用,先天性IVC异常的检测变得更加容易。这些异常常在因其他临床原因进行的成像检查中偶然发现。在进行任何外科手术或血管内介入手术之前,认识到这种异常对于避免潜在并发症至关重要。
