Detection of Aberrant Right Subclavian Artery by PET/CT.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An aberrant right subclavian artery can be diagnosed by PET/CT, as demonstrated in this case of a 70-y-old man undergoing PET/CT for staging of squamous cell carcinoma of the right lung. It is important to report this finding during the evaluation of oncologic patients, to prevent severe complications that may arise from various oncologic interventions.

متن کاملMultidetector-row CT angiographic findings in the bilateral aortic arch origin of the vertebral arteries.
We recently read the interesting article by Albayram et al (1), which concisely explained the anomalies of the vertebral arteries. We would like to present another rare case of bilateral vertebral arteries originating from the aortic arch. We incidentally diagnosed this condition on the basis of findings on a chest CT scan obtained in a patient with trauma. Our trauma chest CT protocol uses 8 2...
متن کاملRight Aortic Arch and Kommerell's Diverticulum Repaired without Reconstruction of Aberrant Left Subclavian Artery
Right aortic arch with Kommerell's diverticulum is a very rare situation. Surgical treatment is recommended for symptomatic patients or asymptomatic patients with a large diverticulum. However planning the strategy of operation is difficult without a 3D imaging. We report a case of a 57-year-old man with right aortic arch, Kommerell's diverticulum, and aberrant left subclavian artery. After a 3...
متن کاملNonrecurrent inferior laryngeal nerves and anatomical findings during thyroid surgery: report of three cases
A nonrecurrent inferior laryngeal nerve (NRILN) is found more frequently on the right side than on the left, and it is closely associated with an aberrant right subclavian artery. The presence of the aberrant right subclavian artery on preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan suggests NRILN; however, different types of branching locations and pathways exist. Here, we report three NRILN cases ...
