BACKGROUND: We report the occurrence of @entity154 (IVC) and @entity8 in three @entity1 as detected on computed tomography (CT). METHODS: The medical records and imaging studies of three @entity1 with @entity154 of the IVC and @entity8 were studied. We also reviewed eight reported cases with such an association. RESULTS: Eleven @entity1 , nine adults and two @entity1 , were included in the series. Indications for imaging included deep vein @entity715 (n = 5), @entity101 (n = 2), failure to advance a femoral vein catheter cranially (n = 1), dilated veins along the abdominal wall (n = 1), @entity177 (n = 1), and @entity1087 (n = 1). CT was performed in seven @entity1 , and venography, aortography, and other imaging modalities were performed in four. @entity6323 included partial or complete absence of the IVC in nine @entity1 and a double vena cava in two. The azygos vein was very prominent in all @entity1 in whom the IVC was absent. The right kidney was absent or very small in all @entity1 . CONCLUSION: The association between @entity6323 and absence of the right kidney as detected on CT probably was not incidental. Although most @entity1 had symptoms deriving from the anomalies, these might have been clinically silent. The radiologist should be aware of the possible association between these anomalies, which can be detected on CT.
