Among all vascular aneurysms, the venous type is quite rare compared to the arterial type. Although this is the case, venous aneurysms
can cause serious complications and even death. Most patients are asymptomatic; however, serious clinical indicators may occur including
abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, venous occlusions, and pulmonary embolism. In this article, we present an 84-year-old male case
of an inferior vena cava aneurysm presenting with a complaint of intermittent, non-specific abdominal pain in the right upper quadrant for
the last couple of years.
Key words: Aneurysm, inferior vena cava, advanced age.
