Overview

A case report identifies IVC duplication in a child, revealing surgical challenges and emphasizing imaging need.

Key Points

  • The aim is to highlight the surgical implications of incidental IVC duplication during neuroblastoma resection in a pediatric patient.
  • Case presentation of a 12-year-old boy with neuroblastoma undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery.
  • Observations made during laparotomy revealed duplicated IVC channels.
  • Partial tumor debulking and lymph node sampling were performed due to adhesions.
  • IVC duplication was found during surgery, altering surgical landmarks.
  • Only partial tumor resection was possible due to dense adhesion and vascular anomaly.
  • Histopathology confirmed neuroblastoma with metastases and extensive necrosis.
