An anomalous case of a left brachiocephalic vein passing behind the ascending aorta was observed in a 49-year Japanese man. This is known as anomalous left brachiocephalic vein. The anomalous left brachiocephalic vein descended along the left mediastinum in a position identical to that of a persistent left superior vena cava, so the diagnosis of this venous abnormally require carefully considered. Many cases of anomalous left brachiocephalic vein have been reported based on autopsy findings, but this venous anomaly was recently demonstrated by ultrasonography, CT, and MRI.
在一名49岁的日本男性中观察到一例左头臂静脉走行于升主动脉后方的异常病例。这被称为异常左头臂静脉。异常左头臂静脉沿左纵隔下降，位置与持续左上腔静脉相同，因此对这种静脉异常的诊断需要仔细考虑。许多异常左头臂静脉病例是基于尸检结果报道的，但这种静脉异常最近通过超声、CT和MRI得以证实。
