title: Three-dimensional imaging of left-sided vena cava: a case report.
abstract: A case of a left-sided vena cava with primary aldosteronism is presented. Preoperative computerized tomography revealed a left-sided vena cava. We also used a new method, three-dimensional visualization, for diagnosis of the present case. This method provided us with a superior image of the anomalous vena cava.
