a E u s a o 6-year-old boy was referred for follow-up of a ventricular septal defect, which was first diagnosed when he was a neonate. Cardiac catheterization performed t 7 months of age revealed an aberrant left subclavian artery rising from the right aortic arch. Recurrent respiratory inection that caused stridor and/or wheezing occurred in early nfanthood, but it was deemed not related to th...

A previously healthy 52-year-old man had a chest radiograph for medical check-up and found to have a right-sided aortic arch. Computed tomography of the thorax revealed a right-sided aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery originated from Kommerell's diverticulum. Barium swallow examination showed compression of the posterior wall of the esophagus. He was asymptomatic and no surgical i...

anatomical vascular variations are rare causes of carpal tunnel syndrome. an aberrant medial artery is the most common vascular variation, while an aberrant radial artery causing carpal tunnel syndrome is even more rare, with an incidence ranging less than 3%. this article reports a patient with compression of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel by an aberrant superficial branch of the radial...

Right aortic arch with isolation of the left subclavian artery is a rare anomaly. The incidence of bilateral ductus arteriosus is sporadic, and a right aortic arch with isolation of the left subclavian artery in association with bilateral ductus arteriosus is therefore extremely rare. Since the symptoms and signs of isolation of the left subclavian artery can include the absence or underdevelop...

Figure 1: CT image shows the thoracic aorta and supra-aortic trunks seen from anterior (a) and left (b) point of view. The CT measurements are 16 mm for the ascending aorta and 5 mm for the aortic arch and descending thoracic aorta. AA: ascending aorta; AoA: aortic arch; IA: innominate artery; LSA: left subclavian artery; LVA: left vertebral artery; RSA: right subclavian artery. Figure 2: MRI s...
