Abstract

Vascular ring is an anomaly which occurs as a result of the anomalous development of the aortic arch complex and is mostly encountered in the infantile period with tracheoesophageal compression symptoms. These anomalies are extremely rare among all the congenital cardiovascular anomalies. Double aortic arch is the most common complete type vascular ring anomaly. We herein describe a case of asymptomatic double aortic arch diagnosed incidentally on thorax computed tomography. We present a three-dimensional reconstructed image of vascular ring in a 77 year-old patient, which was obtained using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). Multiplanar and three-dimensional reconstructions demonstrated double aortic arch. The advantage of multislice dynamic CT angiography is that it displays vascular and extravascular structures with high quality and widely accepted images.

Özet

Damarsal halka, aortik ark kompleksinin anormal gelişimi sonucunda görülen ve çoğunlukla infant döneminde trakeo-özofageal bası bulguları ile kendini gösteren bir anomalidir. Doğumsal kardiyovasküler anomaliler içerisinde oldukça seyrek görülmektedir. Bunlar arasında çift aortik ark en sık rastlanan komplet bir damarsal halka anomalisidir. Biz bu çalışmada çok kesitli bilgisayarlı tomografide (ÇKBT) rastlantısal olarak saptanan çift arkus aortalı, asemptomatik olguyu tanımladık. Vasküler halkası olan 78 yaşındaki erkek hastanın ÇKBT görüntülerini kullanarak elde ettiğimiz üç boyutlu rekonstriksiyon görüntülerini sunduk. Çok düzlemli ve üç boyutlu görüntülerde (VRT, MIP, MPR) çift aortik ark anomalisi gösterildi. Üç boyutlu yüksek kaliteli görüntülerin yanı sıra, vasküler ve ekstravasküler yapıları aynı anda değerlendirebilme olanağı yöntemin avantajlarıdır.
