Uncommon Complex Anomaly of Inferior Vena Cava and Left Iliac Vein Demonstrated by Multidetector-Row CT Angiography

Int Surg. 2014 Nov-Dec;99(6):863-7. doi: 10.9738/INTSURG-D-13-00132.1.

Abstract

Retroperitoneal venous anomalies have clinical importance in retroperitoneal and pelvic surgery. Multidetector-row computed tomography (CT) angiography is an important imaging method to be preferred in evaluating vascular structures in this locality. We describe a complex retroperitoneal venous anomaly with a multidetector-row CT angiography.

Keywords: Complex venous anomaly; Iliac vein; Inferior vena cava; Multidetector-row CT imaging.
