Abstract

 Double inferior vena cava is rare congenital variation resulting from the persistence of the embryonic cardinal venous system. Duplication of inferior vena cava is rare occurrence where the left side cardinal venous system persists as the left inferior vena cava. This study was carried out in the Department of Anatomy, Dr. P. D. M. M. C. Amravati. Total thirty male adult cadavers were dissected to study the inferior vena cava. Out of thirty, in one cadaver, the duplication of inferior vena cava was observed. This anomaly was discussed along with its embryological basis. Apart from duplication of inferior vena cava, no any other anomaly was found.

Keywords: Inferior Vena Cava; Congenital Variation; Duplication.
