Abstract
Thoracoscopic sympathectomy is increasingly used in the management of hyperhidrosis and facial blushing. Pleural adhesions after previous infection, trauma, surgery or pneumothorax may result in difficulty visualising the sympathetic trunk. This report describes the presence of an azygos lobe, a rare anatomical variant, encountered at operation. Recognition of this unusual anatomy is important so that vessel injury is avoided and an effective sympathectomy performed.
