Resumen

CASTRO, F. J. et al. Congenital absence of the inferior vena cava as a risk factor for pulmonar thromboembolism. An. Med. Interna (Madrid) [online]. 2003, vol.20, n.6, pp.34-36. ISSN 0212-7199.

The absence of the inferior vena cava is a rare congenital anomaly. Currently its diagnostic is based on non-invasive imaging thecniques (computerised axial tomography and nuclear magnetic resonance). On most of cases constitutes a casual finding upon practising these image tests unrelated to this congenital anomaly. In the symptomatic patients, the complaints associated are secondary to venous insufficiency and/or deep vein thrombosis. Recently the congenital absence of inferior vena cava has been described as a risk factor of deep vein thrombosis in young patients. We present a case of congenital absence of inferior vena cava that was admitted in our hospital because of pulmonary thromboembolism.

Palabras clave : Congenital absence of inferior vena cava; Pulmonary thromboembolism.
