Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular anatomy
  • Thoracic imaging
  • Medical case reports

Background:

  • Vascular abnormalities of the aortic arch are uncommon congenital conditions.
  • Accurate anatomical identification is crucial for surgical planning and patient management.
  • Right-sided aortic arch and descending aorta present unique diagnostic considerations.

Observation:

  • A rare case of mediastinum vascular abnormality is presented.
  • The abnormality includes right-sided aortic arch (aortic crutch) and descending aorta.
  • An unusual position and origin of the brachiocephalic trunk were also noted.

Findings:

  • The primary finding is the dextroposition of the aortic arch and descending aorta.
  • Associated anomaly of the brachiocephalic trunk's origin and course identified.
  • Discussion of potential diagnostic errors related to these anatomical variations.

Implications:

  • Understanding these rare variations is critical for accurate diagnosis in thoracic imaging.
  • Awareness can prevent misdiagnosis and guide appropriate clinical decision-making.
  • This case contributes to the literature on aortic arch anomalies and their management.
