Diagnosis of a left-sided cervical aortic arch by means of magnetic resonance tomography
- 1. Abt. fuer Radiologische Diagnostik und Nuklearmedizin, Klinikum Minden (Germany)
Description
Aortic arch anomalies are rare. They arise as a failure of the normal development of the left fourth dorsal arch. Cervical aortic arches are believed to result from persistence of the third dorsal arch, which re-routes the aortic arch in the cervical region. We describe a case of a left-sided cervical aortic arch in which the diagnosis was confirmed, and the anatomy defined, using magnetic resonance tomography. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
Der zervikale Aortenbogen ist eine seltene Anomalie, die aus einer fehlerhaften embryonalen Entwicklung der grossen thorakalen Gefaesse resultiert. Normalerweise entwickelt sich der Aortenbogen aus der linken vierten Kiemenbogenarterie. Beim zervikalen Aortenbogen wird die mehr kranial gelegene dritte embryonale Kiemenbogenarterie zum definitiven Aortenbogen ausgebildet. Wir berichten ueber die kernspintomographische Diagnose und Gefaessanatomie eines linksseitigen zervikalen Aortenbogens. (orig.)Additional details
