Abstract
Azygous vein aneurysm is an extremely rare clinical manifestation and often an incidental diagnosis. This could be idiopathic or secondary to a sinister pathology causing increasing central venous pressure. There is no definitive treatment guidance available due to its rare nature. Vascular interventions and anticoagulation are suggested in complex situations.
