Finding of Large Accessory Hemiazygos Vein Draining into the Left Brachiocephalic Vein in a Neonate
Abstract

Systemic venous drainage may show many variations due to its complex development. Identification and recognition of these venous vessels is important, as may misinterpret as abnormal in neonate or pediatric patients. Contrast enhanced computed tomography provides fast, noninvasive, and comprehensive diagnosis of venous anomalies. We present an uncommon but important venous variant depicted in neonate which found accidently while screening with echocardiography for cardiac murmur.
