A case of a retroesophageal parathyroid adenoma with an aberrant right subclavian artery: a potential surgical pitfall.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of retroesophageal parathyroid adenoma coexisting with an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA). A 63-year-old female presented with elevated serum calcium and intact parathyroid hormone levels. 99mTc-methoxyisobutylisonitrile scintigram and enhanced chest computed tomography (CT) revealed a mediastinal tumor measuring 25×15×7 mm located posterior to the esophagus. Three-dimensional CT provided accurate anatomical location of the tumor and the ARSA. We safely resected the ectopic parathyroid adenoma using video-assisted thoracic surgery owing to the accurate location of the adenoma and its relationship to the surrounding anatomical structures including the ARSA.

A Retroesophageal Right Subclavian Artery as the Last Branch of the Aortic Arch- In Vivo Case Report
Three major arteries normally originate from the aortic arch. Variations of the aortic arch branches are observed in some cases. Rare variation of the aortic arch branches is originated from the retroesophageal right subclavian (RRS) artery as the last branch of the aortic arch. Variation of artery is possibly associated with the variation of the recurrent laryngeal nerve. This research p...
متن کاملAberrant Right Subclavian Artery: A Life-threatening Anomaly that should be considered during Esophagectomy
Aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is a rare anomaly, in which the right subclavian artery arises directly from the aortic arch instead of originating from the brachiocephalic artery. This anomaly should be taken into consideration during surgical procedures around esophagus, such as esophagectomy. Any unintentional injury of this artery during surgical procedures could be extremely life t...
متن کاملAnatomical Study of Subclavian Artery and Its Branches
Background: The branches of right and left subclavian arteries are important in conducting of blood to spinal cord, posterior cranial fossa, base of the neck, thyroid gland, wall of the thorax and abdomen. The routine use of internal thoracic artery as a conduit in coronary artery bypass grafting surgery requires appreciation of the anatomical variations of these vessels. So far, there is not a...
متن کاملDysphagia Lusoria: A Case of an Aberrant Right Subclavian Artery and a Bicarotid Trunk
Dysphagia Lusoria is dysphagia secondary to an aberrant right subclavian artery that has a retroesophageal course. Adachi and Williams categorized aortic arch anomalies, showing that the right subclavian artery arising in this fashion (as the final branch of the descending aortic arch) is one of the more common. However, this very rarely coexists with a bicarotid trunk. We present such a case a...
متن کاملCORRELATIONS Right Aortic Arch Types and Associated Cardiac Anomalies
An analysis was made of 78 pathologic specimens in which a right aortic arch was present. In four, the right arch was part of a double aortic arch. In 74 cases the right aortic arch was the only arch. The cases of right aortic arch could be subdivided into two groups as follows: (1) that with a retroesophageal aortic segment (three cases) and (2) that without a retroesophageal segment (71 cases...
