Abstract
A patient with left inferior vena cava with prolongation into a hemiazygos vein is reported. The diagnosis was suspected after ultrasonography and confirmed by inferior cavography. Ultrasonographic signs were absence of a retrohepatic inferior vena cava, direct opening of the inferior hepatic veins into the right atrium and the presence of a longitudinal vascular structure behind and on the left of the aorta, corresponding to the left inferior vena cava.
