Agenesis of the retrohepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare vascular malformation characterized by agenesis of the retrohepatic segment of the IVC and a dilated azygos vein draining venous blood from the caudal segments. Most patients are asymptomatic if the anomaly is isolated. Congenital heart diseases and asplenia or polysplenia syndromes have been reported in association with this entity. We report through this observation the case of agenesis of the retrohepatic inferior vena cava revealed by a pyloric stenosis.
