Evaluation of Azygoesophageal Recess in Adults with the Help of Computer Based Tomography

Abstract

Azygoesophageal recess (AER) is the right posterior mediastinal recess. That is, the interface between the right lower lobe lobe and the mediastinal Reflex below the Azygos vein is limited to the aortic hypers. Is limited by the middle of the esophagus and adjacent structures, and medially and posteriorly. Ascending part of the vertebral column, the azios vein and the anterior
part of the pleura. The study examine different mediastinal and intrathoracic pathologies, altering the configuration of ezigesophageal recess (AER) on CT in adults. Multitudes of pathologies belonging to various systems alter the configuration of Azygoesophageal recess. There is scantiness of literature on CT of Azygoesophageal recess; for comparison of various
pathologies. This study, it can be conclude that CT imaging is a promising imaging modality in evaluating various disease process altering the configuration of Azygoesophageal Recess, however due to relatively small sample size & dearth literature, more experience will be needed to establish the accuracy of CT imaging in correlating various pathologies with alteration of
