Imaging findings
This neonate was diagnosed with a cervical aortic arch, where the arch was hypoplastic and abnormally positioned, extending higher than a normal aortic arch. The anatomy also showed a patent ductus arteriosus and an associated lack of thymic tissue, consistent with a potential underlying syndrome like DiGeorge syndrome.
Key takeaways
Cervical aortic arch is a rare congenital anomaly where the arch is abnormally high. Recognizing this variant is important, particularly as it may be associated with other congenital syndromes or cardiac anomalies.
