Abstract

Idiopathic aneurysms of the inferior caval vein are uncommon in children and adults. We describe a 14 year old boy with a saccular aneurysm of the inferior caval vein, in whom no surgical intervention was required to repair the aneurysm. The patient is being followed-up periodically for the evaluation of any increase in the diameter of the inferior caval vein.
