Summary
We observed choroid plexus hyperdensity on CT scans in newborns with aortic arch obstruction. This finding may indicate abnormal vascularity linked to upper extremity hypertension.
Area of Science:
- Neonatal imaging
- Pediatric cardiology
- Neuroradiology
Background:
- Aortic arch obstruction is a critical congenital heart defect.
- Choroid plexus hyperdensity on CT is an uncommon finding in neonates.
- Intracranial complications like hemorrhage or infarction are concerns in neonates with cardiovascular issues.
