Venous malformations, especially absence of inferior vena cava (IVC), are unusual and occasional findings during complementary abdomen examinations or as a consequence of acute venous thrombosis of the vena cava. Absence of inferior vena cava, caused by aberrant development within the 6–8 weeks of gestation, is a rare congenital anomaly. However, it has been recently confirmed as a major risk factor for the development of deep venous thrombosis, especially in young patients. We report a case of a 34-year-old female patient with inferior vena cava agenesis and deep vein thrombosis.

Abstract
Venous malformations, especially absence of inferior vena cava (IVC), are unusual and occasional findings during complementary abdomen examinations or as a consequence of acute venous thrombosis of the vena cava. Absence of inferior vena cava, caused by aberrant development within the 6–8 weeks of gestation, is a rare congenital anomaly. However, it has been recently confirmed as a major risk factor for the development of deep venous thrombosis, especially in young patients. We report a case of a 34-year-old female patient with inferior vena cava agenesis and deep vein thrombosis.
