Hemiazygos continuation
of the inferior vena cava generally represent with idiopatic deep vein thrombosis
in young age.  Radiological imaging, such
as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, are important to detect
congenital absence or agenesis of the inferior vena cava, even if there are no
symptoms or pathologies. In our article we present a male patient with absence
vena cava inferior who without thromboembolism history and quite advanced age
according to the literatüre. Care should be
taken for venous anomalies such as absence oragenesis of the inferior
vena cava to avoid injury and morbidity when
planning thoracic surgery.
