Abstract
The incidence of IIVC is 1:5000. In the vast majority (90%) of the cases, it is an isolated variant not associated with isomerism or fetal anomalies. In all the cases of isolated interrupted inferior vena cava, the outcome is favorable. In 10% of isolated interrupted inferior vena cava, abnormal function of the spleen may be detected after delivery, necessitating antipneumococcal vaccination.
