Here, we present a case of kidney and inferior vena cava abnormalities with leg thrombosis (KILT) syndrome, which consists of the triad of congenital kidney anomalies, inferior vena cava anomalies, and deep venous thrombosis. KILT syndrome is usually an incidental finding while investigating other conditions.
Highlights
We present a case of kidney and inferior vena cava abnormalities with leg thrombosis (KILT) syndrome, which consists of the triad of congenital kidney anomalies, inferior vena cava anomalies, and deep venous thrombosis
The triad of inferior vena cava (IVC) anomalies, kidney anomalies, and venous thrombosis is a rare phenomenon, which was described by Van Veen et al in 2002 as kidney and IVC abnormalities with leg thrombosis (KILT) syndrome [1], In this case report, we present the case of a 24-year-old male patient with no significant medical history who presented with unprovoked extensive bilateral deep venous thrombosis (DVT), associated with kidney and IVC anomalies
No recurrence of DVTs was reported after 16 months of follow-up
Summary
The triad of inferior vena cava (IVC) anomalies, kidney anomalies, and venous thrombosis is a rare phenomenon, which was described by Van Veen et al in 2002 as kidney and IVC abnormalities with leg thrombosis (KILT) syndrome [1], In this case report, we present the case of a 24-year-old male patient with no significant medical history who presented with unprovoked extensive bilateral deep venous thrombosis (DVT), associated with kidney and IVC anomalies. There were no personal or familial risk factors for venous thrombosis, apart from the patient’s eight-pack-year smoking history Upon examination, he was conscious, alert, and oriented to place, time, and situation.
