Agenesis of vena cava inferior (AVCI) is a rare congenital malformation with a prevalence of 0.0005-1% in the general population. High level of suspicion is required in young patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT), particularly bilateral. We present an 8-year-old girl with AVCI presenting as bilateral lower extremity DVT and a review of the literature in pediatric cases with AVCI and DVT.

D054079 Vascular Malformations A spectrum of congenital, inherited, or acquired abnormalities in BLOOD VESSELS that can adversely affect the normal blood flow in ARTERIES or VEINS. Most are congenital defects such as abnormal communications between blood vessels (fistula), shunting of arterial blood directly into veins bypassing the CAPILLARIES (arteriovenous malformations), formation of large dilated blood blood-filled vessels (cavernous angioma), and swollen capillaries (capillary telangiectases). In rare cases, vascular malformations can result from trauma or diseases. Malformation, Vascular,Malformations, Vascular,Vascular Malformation
