摘要：
Enhancement patterns of visceral venous collaterals are well documented in cases of superior vena cava obstruction. Only recently has intraosseous venous collateral enhancement been described. We describe an unusual case of vertebral marrow enhancement in the lower thoracic spine related to venous collateral circulation caused by an incidental hemiazygos thrombus. Misinterpretation of this finding can lead to the erroneous interpretation of sclerotic bone metastases.
