Isolated left brachiocephalic artery with the right aortic arch: A rare differential of large patent ductus arteriosus
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of isolation of the left brachiocephalic artery with the right aortic arch in a 9-year-old male child masquerading as large patent ductus arteriosus with left-to-right shunt. We have emphasized the subtle clinical findings which served as clues to the diagnosis.

Left-Sided Patent Ductus Arteriosus in a Right-Sided Aortic Arch
We present a 31-year-old female with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and right-sided aortic arch (RAA) with left-sided patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) originating from the left brachiocephalic artery. This is a rare finding but most common site for a PDA in TOF and a RAA. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of this rare finding on MRI in the literature.
متن کاملCo-existence of patent ductus arteriosus and left brachiocephalic artery: a case report
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) may exist with other cardiovascular anomalies, which must be considered at the time of diagnosis. We report a rare co-existence of PDA and a variant of aortic arch branching pattern in a 12-year old Tanzanian female patient during surgery to close a PDA. In this case, the 'left brachiocephalic trunk' was seen to arise from the arch of aorta distal to the origin of...
متن کاملCongenital absence of ductus arteriosus--an autopsy case.
Isolated absence of the ductus arteriosus is extremely rare condition although the ductus arteriosus may be hypoplastic or aplastic in association with other aortic arch anomalies. Authors described a case of isolated agenesis of the ductus arteriosus documented by postmortem examination of a newborn infant who died of pneumonia following operation for a large omphalocele. The heart showed vent...
متن کاملBilateral ductus arteriosus in d-transposition of the great arteries with right aortic arch.
The rare anomaly of a right aortic arch, distal origin of the left subclavian artery, and posterior left ductus arteriosus (forming a vascular ring) plus a right ductus arteriosus is described in an infant with d-transposition of the great arteries with an intact septum. The presence of a right aortic arch and distal left subclavian artery with bilateral ductus arteriosus has not been described...
متن کاملLeft-Sided Patent Ductus Arteriosus
W HEN there is a right-sided aortic arch, persistence of a left-sided ductus arteriosus can readily be demonstrated by angiocardiography. This is important because in some types of eyanotic congenital heart disease, such as in the tetralogy of Fallot, anl artificial aortico-pulmonary (Blalock-Taussig' or Pott S2 shunt) is often created in order to alleviate the distress produced by anoxia. Two ...
