Summary

Cervical aortic arch is a rare neck mass. Aneurysm formation in this condition, while rarer, predominantly affects young women and was successfully treated in a 24-year-old female, as reported here.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Cardiovascular Anomalies

Background:

  • Cervical aortic arch is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by an aberrant aortic arch extending into the neck.
  • It often presents as a pulsatile neck mass, potentially causing dysphagia, cough, and hoarseness.

Observation:

  • Aneurysm formation within a cervical aortic arch is exceptionally rare, with only nine previously reported cases.
  • This specific complication predominantly affects young females.
  • A 24-year-old woman presented with a cervical aortic arch and associated aneurysm formation.

Findings:

  • The aneurysm was attributed to basophilic degeneration.
  • Successful surgical intervention was performed for the cervical aortic arch aneurysm.
  • This case represents a unique presentation of cervical aortic arch with aneurysm formation.

Implications:

  • This report expands the understanding of rare vascular anomalies.
  • Successful surgical management highlights treatment possibilities for this condition.
  • Further research into the etiology and optimal treatment of cervical aortic arch aneurysms is warranted.
