title: [A woman with a rare vascular malformation].
abstract: A 30-year-old woman with trisomy 8 syndrome and coagulopathy was diagnosed with a malformation of the vena cava superior. This is a rare anatomical variation, which originates from a non-development of Marshall's ligament during the 8th week of gestation (prevalence: 0.3%).
