Duplication of the inferior vena cava is seen that crosses anterior to the aorta at the level of the left renal vein to join the right IVC.
A 20 mm hyperdense stone is noted in the gallbladder.
A 28 mm thin walled nonenhanced cyst is noted at the right adnexa.
Case Discussion
Duplication of the inferior vena cava is a relatively rare vascular anomaly, but this caval abnormality needs to be recognized; mainly associated with renal anomalies like crossed fused ectopia or circumaortic renal collar.
