title: The mobile mesoazygos.
abstract: We describe surgical relocation of the mesoazygos without its visceral pleura, from an intrapulmonary location to a normal right superior mediastinal position. The pictorial sequence presented confirms the postulated theory of azygos disimpaction and excludes the theory of symphysis of the azygos fissure.
