Double inferior vena cava

    Teenager cooming for echocardiography. Just in case placed a probe in the low abdomen and found atypical 3 vessels view - aorta and 2 inferior cava veins: right and left.

    It' s a rare congenital anomaly with second left inferior vena cava(LIVC) which drains into the left renal vein. This information should be taking into account if IVC filter placement needed.
