| Abstract |
Congenital anomalies of the venous system are known but congenital absence of infrarenal inferior vena cava with absent deep venous system of the lower limbs is extremely rare. We report the case of an 11-year-old Indian girl who presented with large venous collaterals on her anterior abdominal wall and recurrent non-healing venous ulcers on her left leg with complete absence of infrarenal inferior vena cava and absent deep veins of her lower limbs. Congenital absence of infrarenal inferior vena cava may occur with absence of the deep venous system of the lower limbs. We have reported this case because of its extreme rarity and to enhance awareness of this entity that has no treatment currently. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 August 2016.
All research outputs
#18,467,278
of 22,882,389 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#2,265
of 3,930 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#275,559
of 357,745 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#35
of 77 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,882,389 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,930 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 357,745 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 77 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 2nd percentile – i.e., 2% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
