Review the normal computed tomography anatomy of the azygos venous system alongside its congenital variations and acquired pathological structural changes.
Reviewed radiological literature and computed tomography (CT) findings illustrating normal azygos venous system anatomy.
Categorized and examined CT imaging characteristics of congenital variants and structural alterations resulting from acquired thoracic pathologies.
Identified that the azygos system serves as a crucial posterior thoracic collateral pathway that is frequently underrecognized during clinical and radiological evaluation.
Demonstrated that computed tomography accurately depicts distinct morphologic presentations of both benign congenital anomalies and acquired collateral vascular remodeling.

Implication

Pictorial review details CT features of azygos venous system variants and acquired abnormalities, highlighting its critical function as a thoracoabdominal collateral pathway.

Abstract

The azygos venous system is a crucial conduit of the posterior thorax and potentially vital collateral pathway. However, it is often overlooked clinically and radiologically. This pictorial essay reviews the normal azygos venous anatomy and CT findings of congenital variations and structural changes associated with acquired pathologies.
