Abstract
A complex development process occurs during the embryogenesis of the inferior vena
cava (IVC), such as the formation of several anastomoses between three paired embryonic
veins, which may result in a wide range of congenital abnormalities of the IVC.
We report a case, not described before, of partial double right IVC with a circumcaval
ureter crossing through the divide in the IVC.
