Right internal iliac vein joining the left common iliac vein: case report demonstrated by CT angiography

The authors describe the abnormal confluence of the right internal iliac vein into a left common iliac vein compressed by the overlying right common iliac artery. The prevalence of this combination of abnormalities, evaluated in cadavers and in living subjects by CT, was 0.9%. The possible obstacle to venous pelvic return by these anomalies is pointed out.

Internal Iliac

AbstractInferior vena cava (IVC) is formed by the union of the common iliac veins anterior to the body of the fifth lumbar vertebra, a little to its right side. It conveys blood to the right atrium from all the structures below the diaphragm. During routine educational dissection for medical undergraduates, we have come across a case of an anomalous communication between right internal iliac vein and left common iliac vein and a variation in the formation of inferior vena cava in a 55-year-old male cadaver. Due to its complex embryogenesis and relationship with other abdominal and thoracic structures, IVC may develop abnormally. These anatomical variations are often clinically silent and discovered incidentally. Knowledge of these variations may be helpful to clinicians and anatomists during surgical exploration, atypical clinical presentations and cadaveric findings.

Abstract The diameter at the origin of the internal iliac vein was found between 4.7 to 9.9 mm; for the right internal iliac vein between 4.7 to 9.7 mm; the statistical distribution groups value in ascending order being as follows: 4.7 to 5.5 mm: 4 cases (22.22% of cases); 6.9 to 7.8 mm: 6 cases (33.33% of cases); 8.4-8.8 mm: 4 cases (22.22% of cases); 9.1 to 9.7 mm: 4 cases (22.22% of cases). The diameter at the origin of the left internal iliac vein was between 4.8 to 9.9 mm, while the distribution statistics on groups of values, in ascending order, being as follows: 4.8-5.2 mm: 4 cases (22.22 % of cases); 6.8-7.1 mm: 8 cases (44.44% of cases); 8.3 to 9.9 mm: 6 cases (33.33% of cases). The diameter at the end of the internal iliac vein was between 5.9 to 10.2 mm; the diameter at the end of the right internal iliac vein was between 6.1 to 10.2 mm, the statistical distribution of values groups in ascending order being follows: 6.1 to 7.5 mm: 6 cases (33.33% of cases); 8.4 to 8.7 mm: 8 cases (44.44% of cases); 9.3 to 10.2 mm: 4 cases (22.22% of cases). The diameter at the end of the left internal iliac vein was between 5.9 to 9.9 mm, while the distribution statistics on groups of values in ascending order being as follows: 5.9 to 6.2 mm: 4 cases (22.22 % of cases); 7 to 7.6 mm: 3 cases (16.67% of cases); 8.3-8.4 mm: 5 cases (27.28% of cases); 9.1 to 9.9 mm: 6 cases (33.33% of cases). Comparing the common iliac vein caliber of the two, right and left, we found that in 10 cases (55.56% of cases), the right internal iliac vein has a greater diameter than the left one by 0.3 mm. In 8 cases (44.44% of cases), the left internal iliac vein has a larger diameter than the right one with 0.1-0.6 mm; between the two values there is a difference of 0.5 mm
