Infrarenal inferior vena cava agenesis is a rare malformation. Although it is typically spotted through image findings, it may also manifest itself in dyspnea, cardiac failure, thrombosis, or ulcers. Connecting inferior vena cava agenesis with thrombophilia is extremely infrequent. There may be some causal relationship between both entities, which goes beyond mere coexistence. We present a patient with ulcers due to infrarenal inferior vena cava agenesis and protein S deficiency, showing favorable recovery with advanced wound healing and elastic compression treatment.
