Abstract
Duplicated inferior vena cava (IVC) and dorsal pancreatic agenesis are rare congenital anomalies that are most often detected incidentally on crosssectional imaging. The coexistence of these two anomalies is exceedingly uncommon and may have important diagnostic and procedural implications. We report a case of a 17-year-old female who presented with diffuse abdominal pain and was incidentally found to have a duplicated IVC and dorsal pancreatic agenesis on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT). Recognition of such congenital vascular and pancreatic anomalies is essential to avoid diagnostic pitfalls and to prevent potential complications during surgical or interventional procedures. This case highlights the importance of meticulous evaluation of cross-sectional imaging for identifying rare congenital variants and understanding their potential associations.
