title: [Asymptomatic vena cava inferior aneurysm, case report].
abstract: Venous aneurysms are uncommon, whereas localized aneurysms of the inferior vena cava are extremely rare. Localized aneurysm of inferior vena cava was first publisheded in 1973 by Oh et al. Though venous aneurysms are generally asymptomatic, it is clinically important because of showing the symptoms of abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, acute venous obstruction, pulmonary embolism and even sudden death. Our case is also asymptomatic and localized aneurysm of the inferior vena cava is detected incidentally.
