Pseudocoarctation, a rare aortic anomaly, can be mistaken for other conditions. This case highlights its association with a left cervical aorta, emphasizing the need for accurate diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Medical Imaging
  • Anatomical Variations

Background:

  • Pseudocoarctation of the aorta is an uncommon congenital anomaly.
  • It can be misdiagnosed as true coarctation, aortic aneurysm, or mediastinal neoplasm.
  • Accurate identification is crucial for appropriate clinical management.

Observation:

  • A unique case of pseudocoarctation associated with a left cervical aorta is presented.
  • The case uniquely demonstrates significant tortuosity and kink formation in the cervical aorta and its main branches.
  • No frank aneurysm formation was observed in the affected cervical aorta.

Findings:

  • The study reports a rare association between pseudocoarctation and a left cervical aortic arch.
  • Distinctive tortuosity and kinking of the cervical aorta were observed without aneurysm.

  • Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is proposed as a noninvasive tool for diagnosis.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of pseudocoarctation and cervical aortic arch variations.
    • Noninvasive imaging like MRA is vital for diagnosing complex aortic anomalies.
    • Distinguishing pseudocoarctation from other pathologies prevents misdiagnosis and ensures correct treatment.
