    <abstract locale="en_US">A 47-year-old female with a history of antiphospholipid syndrome and ischemic stroke was presented to the
emergency department due to abdominal pain and bloody vomiting. Ultrasonography showed double inferior
vena cava and bilateral mild hydronephrosis. Furthermore, the abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan did
not show any evidence of urolithiasis. The ultrasound images of distinctive developmental variations of inferior
vena cava and other veins are important to be known. Vascular anomalies, although rare, should be taken into
account in the differential diagnosis of focal lesions within the abdominal cavity. Double IVC might have been
the cause of hydronephrosis in our patient.</abstract>
