A lack of congenital Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) is an uncommon malformation that has been identified in combination with idiopathic Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT), exclusively. It may not even be revealed during the lifetime. A 63-year-old female was accepted with three months of abdominal and pelvic pain and localized edema on the right flank. During this admission, she was examined and recognized for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Ct scan images showed a lack of the Inferior Vena Cava with enormous thrombosis collaterals of the superficial vein in the abdomen. In this case report, we report a woman with side pain who has an absence of the IVC.
