Inferior Vena Cava agenesis presenting as deep vein thrombosis in an eight year-old girl

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.
