Autores: Carvalho Dina, Presa Ramos José

Fragmento

Agnes of inferior vena cava is a rare abnormality that occurs in less than 1% of the population. The origin of the inferior vena cava is a complex process that occurs between the sixth and eighth week of gestation. When the process of formation of the vena cava incompletely occurs or it does not occur, we have a compensatory dilatation of the azygos system to help the venous drainage of the lower segment of the body.
