- Abstract
The article presents a medical study regarding an 11-year old who was being evaluated for having an asymptomatic cardiac murmur disease. Transthoracic echocardiography shows an azygos vein on his pulmonary veins and mild dilatation on his right atrium and ventricles. It adds that a computed tomography confirmed azygos vein drainage of the patients' pulmonary veins. Moreover, it emphasizes the value of tomography efficiency despite echocardiography efficacy in tracing pulmonary venous drainage.
