INTRODUCTION. The pattern of drainage by the azygos venous system is highly variable.
Until recently, the points of termination of the azygos, hemiazygos, and accessory …

The azygos venous system is highly variable in terms of its origin, course, communications,
tributaries and termination of the associated veins: this study aimed to classify these …

The azygos venous system, which comprises the azygos, hemiazygos, and accessory
hemiazygos veins, assists in blood drainage into the superior vena cava (SVC) from the …

Objectives: The AZYGOS venous system under the diaphragm at the superior part of
posterior abdominal wall varies in its origin. Commonly, the AZYGOS vein begins by the …

Introduction: The cause for venous compromise is multifactorial. Variations of the venous

Anatomical variation of the azygos venous system and its clinical implications Christina …

Azygos venous system drains the venous blood from thoracic wall. Knowledge of variations
of its course and tributaries is important to cardiothoracic surgeons, radiologists and …

The azygos venous system varies greatly in mode of its origin, course, number of vertical
channels, number of horizontal anastomoses and nature of termination. Anatomical …

In a dissection performed in our department, we observed multiple variations of the azygos
venous system. The hemiazygos vein was absent. The posterior 8th, 9th, and 10th …

It has been generally considered that the azygos vein acts as a by-pass between the inferior
and superior caval systems, and most research has centred on the con-nexions of its caudal …
