In this study, a 17 year old male patient was presented who admitted to our hospital with acute abdominal pain and were determined by chance during routine inspections double inferior vena cava anomaly. In recent years, the development of modern imaging techniques and with the widespread clinical use of these asymptomatic inferior vena cava anomaly has been identified as incidental facilities are provided.
