MDCT examples collateral circulation (gonadal, ureteric, azygous, lumbar, capsular) aortomesenteric (anterior) retroaortic (posterior) phenomena patients with no urologic complaint shown studies performed on gross uncertain origin. Incidental observation veins draining LRV asymptomatic may be sign compensating phenomenon. Imbalance between development lead to symptomatic syndrome.
