Özet
A 9-year-old boy presented with a history of lower respiratory infections and stridor. At age 18 months, he had undergone surgery for inguinal hernia and tracheoesophageal fistula. Physical examination now revealed a pulsatile mass in the right supraclavicular region.
Transthoracic echocardiography and aortography showed a right cervical aortic arch: the right subclavian artery and right carotid artery arose from the right cervical arch (Fig. 1), and the left carotid artery originated from the ascending aorta (Fig. 2). Computed tomography revealed this anatomic configuration and tracheal compression (Figs. 3 and and4).4). The patient was referred for cardiac surgery.
