ABSTRACT
The obstruction of inferior vena cava(IVC) is uncommon condition. The classification is based on the obstructive sites of major anatomic segments of IVC. The main collateral pathways of interruption of IVC were central channels through ascending lumbar veins, intervertebral veins and azygos-hemiazygos complex. However, the complete obstruction of mid-portion of IVC, accompanying collateral cirulation with pericardiacophrenic vein was rarely reported. We had experienced a case of complete obstruction of mid-portion of IVC with lobulated left cardiac border, which was unforgettable characteristic finding on chest radiograph. It was confirmed by venographic examination that the lobulated left cardiac shadow was a collateral circulation of pericardiacophrenic vein.
