    This case report details pseudocoarctation of the thoracic aorta, a rare congenital anomaly. Computed tomography (CT) findings can diagnose this condition when a mediastinal mass is identified.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Pediatric Cardiology

    Background:

    • Pseudocoarctation of the thoracic aorta is a rare congenital anomaly.
    • It can present as a mediastinal mass on chest roentgenograms.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management.

    Observation:

    • A case of pseudocoarctation of the thoracic aorta was identified.
    • The condition initially manifested as a mediastinal mass on chest roentgenogram.
    • Computed tomography (CT) was used for further evaluation.

    Findings:

    • A combination of CT findings is diagnostic for pseudocoarctation of the thoracic aorta.
    • Key findings include the mediastinal mass being part of the aorta.
    • Other diagnostic CT features include an unusually high aortic arch, ventral displacement of the aortic isthmus within aerated lung, and a more caudal origin of the subclavian artery creating a posterior vascular shadow to the kinked aortic arch.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the utility of CT in diagnosing rare congenital aortic anomalies.
    • Understanding these specific CT findings aids in differentiating pseudocoarctation from other mediastinal masses.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis can guide surgical or interventional strategies.
