Abstract
- Congenital absence of inferior vena cava is an uncommon abnormality. With advent of modern imaging techniques such cases are being found with increasing frequency. I report the case of an otherwise healthy 44-year-old man with severe venous insufficiency involving both lower extremities manifested by multiple ulcerations. This condition was caused by a combination of congenital and acquired factors. Ulcerations were managed successfully with aggressive conservative treatment.
