Summary
Absence of the hemiazygos and hemiazygos accessoria veins were observed during routine dissection. The posterior intercostal veins between 4th to 11th and subcostal vein on the left side were crossed behind the descending aorta and drained into the azygos vein independently. This rarely reported variation must keep in mind in mediastinal surgery and radiological interpretations.
