IMAGING IN CONGENITAL MALFORMATIONS OF THE INFERIOR VENA CAVA AND ITS TRIBUTARIES

Abstract
Ultrasonography (US), computer (CT) and magnetic resonance (MRI) tomography - are the basic tools to identify malformations of the Inferior Vena Cava (IVC), which may be congenital or isolated elements of cardiosplenic syndrome that occurs during embryonic development. These vascular malformations diverse by a variety of pathologically formed architectonics, are rather rare, often asymptomatic, or present as venous thrombosis of the lower body. They can also mimic neoplasms and lymphadenopathy in the examined areas. The advantages and limitations of imaging methods in detecting malformations of the IVC and its tributaries are described with a clinical case example. A novel diagnostic algorithm to assess the structure of the IVC, which is extremely important when planning surgical interventions, endovascular diagnostics and therapeutic procedures, is proposed and justified.
