Abstract

The persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a common venous abnormality. However, malformation of the bilateral inferior venae cava (IVC) is extremely rare, with an incidence rate of.3%. IVC malformation is associated most frequently with heart defects and isomerism and often has a poor prognosis. We presented a case of vascular malformations in the fetus of bilateral caval veins with the interruption of the left‐sided venous return with hemiazygos continuation in presence of a right‐sided inferior caval vein. Also noted were the PLSVC and a dilated right heart with a widened pulmonary trunk. In this case, there were no heart defects or chromosomal abnormalities, and the newborn postpartum was in a good condition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
