"There is an interruption of the infrahepatic/suprarenal portion of the IVC due to a failure of fusion of the vitelline and subcardinal embryological portions of the IVC. The renal segment of the IVC therefore drains via the azygos vein (or in rare cases, the hemiazygos vein if there is a left-sided IVC)."
