Abstract

Azygos system, one of the main collateral vessels which communicates superior vena cava with inferior vena cava, is well visualized by Xray angiography. This system is rarely demonstrated by radioisotope study. We report a case whose azygos system was shown during $^{99m}Tc-DTPA$ renal scanning.
