Abstract
A case of transposed (left) inferior vena cava (IVC) with a normal suprarenal IVC
visible on computed tomography (CT) is presented. There is concomitant recanalized
thrombosis of the left IVC with venous collaterals present. Caval anomalies, differential
diagnosis of a left IVC, and CT demonstration of thrombosis of major abdominal venous
structures and associated venous collaterals are discussed.
