Variations of the inferior vena cava (IVC) are clinically silent and most often diagnosed incidentally when imaging for other reasons. However, they may have significant clinical implications during retroperitoneal surgery, venous intervention, or differential imaging diagnosis. This article describes a case of triple IVC, discovered on a lumbar CT and MRI scan during an evaluation of back pain. Clin. Anat. 26:1002–1005, 2013. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
