Isolated bilateral external iliac vein aplasia.
We present a case of 11-year-old girl with a history of prominent superficial veins over abdomen and thorax since birth. A superficial vein extending from either inguinal region joined in umbilical region and extended up to right supraclavicular region. Other features of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome like nevus, limb edema were absent. On radiological investigations both external iliac veins could not be visualized and venous return from lower limbs was draining into the right subclavian vein via these superficial veins. Both external iliac veins could not be identified during surgery.
