The Independent Right and Left Azygos Veins with Hemiazygos Absence: A Rare Case Presentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The veins of the azygos system vary greatly in mode of origin, course, numbers of tributaries and anastomoses, and nature of termination. The azygos vein system can take different courses. Such variation is important in mediastinal surgery, and knowledge of congenital variations can be of clinical importance. It is imperative for reporting radiologists to identify such anomalies.

متن کاملAzygos ladder and looped thoracic duct – a case report
The azygos vein is the vein that drains the thoracic wall and upper lumbar region. It is the important channel connecting the two venae cavae. Its origin is variable. On developmental grounds it should originate from the posterior surface of the inferior vena cava near the renal veins. This is known as lumbar azygos vein. In the absence of lumbar azygos, it is formed by the union of ascending l...
متن کاملAn Anomalous Single Azygos-Hemiazygos Vein Associated with Retro-Aortic Left Renal and Accessory Renal Veins *
Anomalies of the venous system are known to be varied and frequent and, therefore, are often taken for granted. Perhaps for that reason we have been unable to discover in the literature an adequate description of a single midline vein receiving the drainage usually cared for by the azygos and hemiazygos systems. The condition has been observed previously, for in Piersol's Human Anatomy (1936, p...
