In case of IVC obstruction the collaterals which open up are all except

A
Superior epigastric & inferior epigastric vein
B
Azygos & ascending lumbar vein
C
Superficial epigastric & iliolumbar vein
D
Lateral thoracic veins & preveebral vein
High-Yield Explanation
Superficial epigastric pain drains into great saphenous vein.Iliolumbar vein drains into internal iliac vein,so these two do not form collateral between SVC & IVC as both of them will be ultimately drained into IVC.All other choices form collaterals between SVC & IVC.
