Abstract

The caudal vena cava agenesis is a malformation that occurs during the embryogenesis period, characterized by partial or total absence of the organ. Because it is a sometimes-asymptomatic abnormality, they are rare findings on imaging exams, which can range from simple ultrasound to computed tomography, and are the main methods for detection and closure of the diagnosis. This paper aims to report a case of a Scott Terrier dog, aged 8 years and 4 months, treated at a Veterinary Hospital in the city of Salvador-BA, which, after performing ultrasound and tomography, confirmed the agenesis of the caudal vena cava.
