摘要
The radiologic findings on plain chest films and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CCT) of the thorax in a case of isolated persistence of the left superior vena cava associated with absence of the right azygos vein are described. Chest x-rays allowed a presumptive diagnosis of the vascular anomaly. Confirmation of this anomaly was achieved by CT. © 1990 Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
