The azygos veins in thirty six cadavers (26 adult bodies, 10 human fetuses) were examined with special reference to the correlation with the midline of the vertebral column. The azygos veins were often observed to cross the middle of the ventral side of the vertebral column from right to left, and the occurrence of this crossing to the left is more frequent than that previously described--occurring in twenty two of the adult bodies. In three of the adult bodies, the vein ran upwards along the midline. In the remaining adult, the azygos vein ascended on the right side only of the vertebral column. In the fetuses, no azygos vein crossed the midline and the vein lay only on the right side or along the midline of the vertebral column. these results indicate the possibility of leftward displacement of the azygos vein during the aging process.
对36具尸体（26具成人尸体、10具胎儿尸体）的奇静脉进行了检查，特别关注其与脊柱中线的相关性。常观察到奇静脉从右向左越过脊柱腹侧中部，且这种向左交叉的情况比之前描述的更为频繁——在22具成人尸体中出现。在3具成人尸体中，静脉沿中线向上走行。在其余的成人尸体中，奇静脉仅在脊柱右侧上升。在胎儿中，没有奇静脉越过中线，静脉仅位于脊柱右侧或沿脊柱中线。这些结果表明在衰老过程中奇静脉有向左移位的可能性。
