    The document describes several cases of anatomical variations and abnormalities found on ultrasound exams of the vena cava and surrounding structures. These include a double vena cava, hypoplastic vena cava with collateral veins, thrombosis of the vena cava and iliac veins, thrombus within the vena cava, tumor thrombus extending from renal cell carcinomas into the vena cava, cardiac failure leading to dilation of the vena cava, enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes pressing on the vena cava, and hemangiomas protruding into the vena cava. The cases are presented to demonstrate various pathologies and anatomical variations that can be identified on ultrasound of the vena cava
