A rare cervical aortic arch with aneurysm, a condition affecting major blood vessels, was surgically removed in a 59-year-old man. This case highlights the importance of diagnosing and treating this uncommon vascular anomaly.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Vascular Imaging
  • Medical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Cervical aortic arch is a rare congenital anomaly where the aortic arch arises from the thorax and extends into the neck.
  • Aneurysm formation in a cervical aortic arch is exceptionally uncommon, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 59-year-old male presented with suspicion of a mediastinal tumor.
  • Diagnostic imaging, including contrast-enhanced CT and angiography, revealed a left-sided cervical aortic arch (Haughton type D) with an associated arch aneurysm.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with a left-sided cervical aortic arch (Haughton type D) complicated by an aneurysm.
  • Surgical excision of the arch aneurysm was successfully performed.

Implications:

  • This case represents the 20th reported instance of cervical aortic arch with aneurysm formation globally.
  • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing symptomatic or potentially life-threatening cervical aortic arch aneurysms.
