Abstract
Congenital interruption of the inferior vena cava is an uncommon vascular a nomaly. In this setting, the appearance of deep vein thrombosis is very rar e because associated azygous or portal continuation develops as a collatera l system for venous return. The authors present a case of infrahepatic inte rruption of the inferior vena cava in a 21-year-old man who presented with symptoms of deep vein thrombosis. Clinical features and prognosis of this e ntity are discussed.
