Empty azygos fissure implies dislocation of the azygos vein to the mediastinal side of the right upper lobe from azygos fissure, which is usually secondary to pneumothorax, pleural effusion, parenchymal fibrosis, vertebral collapse or persistent vomiting. We are presenting here a case where a separated azygos vein in CT and radiography images was noted. Moreover, in the follow-up images, it appeared that the complete reexpansion of the right lung resulted in reentrance of the azygos vein into azygos fissure in its native position.
奇静脉裂缺如意味着奇静脉从奇静脉裂移位至右上叶的纵隔侧，这通常继发于气胸、胸腔积液、实质纤维化、椎体塌陷或持续性呕吐。我们在此呈现一例在CT和X线影像中发现奇静脉分离的病例。此外，在随访影像中，右肺完全复张似乎导致奇静脉重新回到其在奇静脉裂的正常位置。
