Abstract

We highlight the case of a double Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) encountered in a routine dissection of a 46 year old male cadaver. We outline gross anatomical details, summarize the embryological development of IVC and present the case as a reminder of this rare anatomical variation, as in such cases, pre-operative abdominal cross sectional imaging kis usually not available; hence the operating surgeon needs to rely on vigilance and awareness of other potential anatomical variations that are associated with the condition.
