Abstract

We present a rare case of a congenital aortic arch anomaly with its clinical and imaging findings with multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in an adult female who presented with dyspnea and dysphagia. MDCT made an accurate diagnosis of this lifethreatening but correctable, anomaly in an adult with repeated respiratory infections, dyspnea and dysphagia.
