Abdominal wall varicosities secondary to one-sided iliac vein agenesis

İki hastada BT de rastlantısal olarak tek taraflı ana iliak ven agenezisi saptandı. Hastaların ilkinde spiral BT de sol ana iliak ve eksternal iliak ven agenezisi, diğerinde sol ana iliak ven agenezisi ve sol eksternal iliak ven hipoplazisi gösterildi. Bu bulgulara ek olarak her iki hastada inferior vena kava agenezisi olmaksızın karın ön duvarı ve suprapubik varisler bulunmaktaydı. Belirtilen bulgular daha önce sadece bir hastada tanımlanmıştır. Spiral BT iliak ven agenezisini ve eşlik eden varisleri saptamada güvenilir bir yöntemdir.

Tek taraflı iliak ven agenezisine bağlı karın duvarı varisleri

Spiral computed tomography incidentally revealed one-sided iliac vein agenesis in two patients. In the first patient CT showed left-sided common iliac vein and external iliac vein agenesis, and in the second patient left-sided common iliac vein agenesis and left external iliac vein hypoplasia. In addition to these findings, both patients had abdominal wall and suprapubic varicosities without agenesis of the inferior vena cava. This has been documented in only one patient previously in the literature. Spiral CT is an accurate way to identify iliac vein agenesis and associated varicosities.
