Abstract

Congenital and acquired abnormalities may alter the anatomy, size, or position of the azygos system. Computed tomography is often able to depict these abnormalities and in many cases indicate the cause. In this article, the normal anatomy of the azygos system is discussed and examples of congenital and acquired abnormalities are presented.
