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.
