Abstract

We describe the data of 5 cases of anomaly/agenesis of the IVC in patients admitted to our hospital between 2002 and 2013. The relationship between this entity and thrombophilia is suggested, and the association with other congenital anomalies described as renal agenesis and cardiac abnormalities.
