Cervical aortic arch is a very rare malformation and is occasionally accompanied by other cardiovascular anomalies. A 48-year-old male patient had a left cervical aortic arch with aortic coarctation and saccular aneurysm distal to the coarcted segment. The major clinical manifestations were upper body hypertension with a 50-mmHg discrepancy between the upper and lower limbs and a loud continuous murmur in the upper chest and back. Magnetic resonance angiography successfully depicted the anomalous aorta, and the aortic coarctation and aneurysm were surgically resected and the thoracic aorta was reconstructed. The discrepancy in blood pressure diminished after the operation, but antihypertensive medication was continued to satisfactorily control the hypertension.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D003323 Coronary Aneurysm Abnormal balloon- or sac-like dilatation in the wall of CORONARY VESSELS. Most coronary aneurysms are due to CORONARY ATHEROSCLEROSIS, and the rest are due to inflammatory diseases, such as KAWASAKI DISEASE. Aneurysm, Coronary,Aneurysms, Coronary,Coronary Aneurysms

D001013 Aorta, Thoracic The portion of the descending aorta proceeding from the arch of the aorta and extending to the DIAPHRAGM, eventually connecting to the ABDOMINAL AORTA.

D001017 Aortic Coarctation A birth defect characterized by the narrowing of the AORTA that can be of varying degree and at any point from the transverse arch to the iliac bifurcation. Aortic coarctation causes arterial HYPERTENSION before the point of narrowing and arterial HYPOTENSION beyond the narrowed portion.

D021621 Imaging, Three-Dimensional The process of generating three-dimensional images by electronic, photographic, or other methods. For example, three-dimensional images can be generated by assembling multiple tomographic images with the aid of a computer, while photographic 3-D images (HOLOGRAPHY) can be made by exposing film to the interference pattern created when two laser light sources shine on an object.
