Pseudocoarctation of the Aorta
Imaging findings
High-positioned aortic arch that kinks back to a normal level, resembling a cervical arch deformity. Associated with the ligamentum arteriosum.
Key takeaways
The embryologic origin likely involves the third arch rather than the fourth. It is often associated with a bicuspid aortic valve, similar to classic coarctation.
