An abnormal course of the interazygos vein: a case report
Abstract Background The azygos venous system in the posterior mediastinum has a complex developmental pattern. Case presentation During the dissection of this region, we encountered a variation in this system. In this case, we observed that the accessory hemiazygos and hemiazygos veins in the left s...
