[Cervical aortic arch--symptoms and diagnosis in 2 children]

Two children with cervical aortic arch are presented. This anomaly is very rare. In one patient cervical aortic arch Type A (Haughton) was associated with a ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus. In the other child we report the only case of cervical aortic arch (Type B) in association with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return.
