Abstract:
Loeys-Dietz syndrome is an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder that is characterized by skeletal abnormalities, craniofacial malformations, and predisposition for aortic aneurysm with tortuosity. We report a case of a right-sided cervical aortic arch associated with the Loeys-Dietz syndrome. To the best of our knowledge, this combination has not been described in the literature. <Learning objective: The Loeys-Dietz syndrome is characterized by vascular findings such as arterial aneurysm or tortuosity with skeletal and craniofacial malformation. We report for the first time a patient with right-sided cervical aortic arch associated with this syndrome. The patient underwent surgical reconstruction.>.
