Abstract
Cervical aortic arch (CAA) is a rare congenital aortic anomaly. It can be associated with several cardiovascular abnormalities including aortic aneurysm, valvular disease, and pseudocoarctation. In this report, we present a case of CAA with combined association of both aneurysm formation and pseudocoarctation. This combination of anomalies is extremely uncommon, described in only 4 cases in the literature. In addition, our patient had an anomalous subaortic left brachiocephalic vein that, to our knowledge, was not previously described in the literature to be associated with CAA. The radiographic, multidetector computed tomography scan, and magnetic resonance angiography imaging findings are presented.
