This case report presents an atypical transverse cervical artery with its detailed anatomy, morphogenesis, and association with the high arch-shaped subclavian artery. The atypical arteries, related arteries, and adjacent cervical and brachial plexuses were macroscopically examined in a 98-year-old Japanese female cadaver donated to The Nippon Dental University for medical education and research. The atypical deep branch of the transverse cervical artery originated from the internal thoracic artery and passed through between the C5 and C6 roots, in close contact with the C5 and C6 junction, to reach the dorsal side of the brachial plexus.

Aortic arch anomalies represent a range of congenital vascular malformations resulting from disruptions in the typical embryological development of the aortic arch and its branches. These anomalies, which vary widely in their presentation, can lead to significant clinical symptoms depending on their structure and position. We report the case of a 75-year-old male with intermittent hypertension, palpitations, and episodic warmth in the upper body.

Article Synopsis
  • Shone complex (SC) is a rare congenital heart disease involving four obstructive lesions in the left side of the heart, making up 0.6-0.7% of CHD cases.
  • A 4-week-old male neonate with SC presented severe respiratory distress and related symptoms, leading to a diagnosis that included multiple heart issues and a successful surgical intervention at five months.
  • Early detection through echocardiography and multidisciplinary care is crucial for effective management and improved patient outcomes in SC cases.

Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a congenital disease characterized by the narrowing of the aorta, typically the descending portion after the left subclavian artery. If left untreated, by the time individuals reach 50 years of age, the mortality rate can reach 90%. Previous studies have highlighted the adverse effects of CoA on local hemodynamics.

Subclavian arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are rare entities, mostly reported as a result of traumatic and iatrogenic injuries. In the literature, congenital subclavian AVFs are also presented. Diagnosis of traumatic AVF may present challenges given the variable clinical presentation, varying location, and difficulty to locate on imaging.
