Inferior vena cava (IVC) agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly that has been implicated in up to 5% of unprovoked deep vein thrombosis (DVT) cases in young men under 30 years old. A hypercoagulability workup was positive for a heterozygous Factor V Leiden (FVL) mutation, an additional thrombophilic risk factor.
