ABSTRACT
We report on a 38-year-old patient with intermittent edema of the lower legs, arms and abdominal wall. The cause for his tendency to develop edema was a membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava and a membranous stenosis of the superior vena cava. The etiology of these anomalies of the vena cava suggests a congenital malformation. In consideration of the cases of inferior and/or superior vena cava-anomalies published to date the patient received an anticoagulant therapy (coumarin) and treatment with graduated compression stockings. He now complains from time to time of a sensation tension in the lower legs after prolonged standing or sitting. Edema of the upper and lower extremities and the abdominal wall have disappeared.
