A 66-year-old female who had been receiving treatment for a non-tuberculous pulmonary mycobacterial infection underwent enhanced computed tomography (CT). A wellcircumscribed, high density nodule, measuring 12 mm in diameter, was noted in the right main bronchus (Picture 1) and it was initially considered to be a calcified mediastinal lymph node that had been caused by the mycobacterial infecti...
متن کاملThe Abnormally Situated Azygos Vein
The azygos vein may be abnormally situated due to anomalous embryologic development. Its abnormal location is infrequent, but radiologic recognition is much easier than that of the normal vein. This vein, normal or abnormal, becomes distended in conditions with an elevated venous pressure, systemic or portal. Changes in the size of the azygos vein on x-ray are noted to parallel fluctuations of ...
متن کاملReentrance of Azygos Vein into Azygos Fissure After Pneumothorax.
Empty azygos fissure implies dislocation of the azygos vein to the mediastinal side of the right upper lobe from azygos fissure, which is usually secondary to pneumothorax, pleural effusion, parenchymal fibrosis, vertebral collapse or persistent vomiting. We are presenting here a case where a separated azygos vein in CT and radiography images was noted. Moreover, in the follow-up images, it app...
متن کاملMigrating azygos vein and vanishing azygos lobe: MDCT findings.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to describe six cases of migrating azygos vein and to explain the etiologic factors that contribute to the migration. Six patients with migrating azygos vein were studied by MDCT before and after migration. Five patients had right pneumothorax. All patients had repeated episodes of cough, vomiting, and a short mesoazygos. CONCLUSION Pneumothorax, increa...
متن کاملPulmonary varix associated with an anomalous unilateral single pulmonary vein mimicking pulmonary arterio-venous malformation.
A 52-year old female was admitted for treatment of lung cancer in the right upper lobe. A left-sided serpentine opacity was incidentally detected and a pulmonary arterio-venous malformation was suspected (Fig. 1). However, pulmonary varix associated with an anomalous unilateral single pulmonary vein was diagnosed by imaging studies (Fig. 2, Supplementary Video 1). Supplementary material (Video ...
