title: Anomalous high insertion of the inferior vena cava into the right atrium: a case report with review of literature.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Anomalous high insertion of the inferior vena cava into the right atrium is probably the most infrequent anomaly among the anomalies of the inferior vena cava.
  
  
  METHODS
  We present a case of anomalous high insertion of the inferior vena cava into the posterior wall of the right atrium in a 20-year-old asymptomatic man.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This anomaly has unique characteristic because of presenting with an isolated anomaly different from earlier reported cases.
