Summary: Abstract: A 6-year old male presented with fever and progressive enlargement of the abdomen and scrotal swelling. Laboratory examination showed persistent anemia, hyponatremia, hypoalbuminemia and elevated liver enzymes. Imaging procedures showed pleural effusion, ascites and gallbladder wall thickening with gallbladder stones and an incidental finding of Inferior Vena Cava Stenosis on Abdominal Ct angiogram. Manifestations of Dengue Fever are from subclinical infection to multi-organ involvement attributable to direct cytopathic effect of the virus and plasma leakage. Associated Inferior vena cava anomalies are uncommon. CT scan and MRI are the most reliable methods for identification of these anomalies.
