AI Article Synopsis
- A 1-year-old boy was diagnosed with a double outlet right ventricle and was found to have a unique vascular condition where the left external and internal carotid arteries originated separately from the aortic arch, with no left common carotid artery present.
- The case emphasizes the relevance of embryological development in understanding this vascular anomaly.
- It also underscores the significance of CT angiography in detecting vascular abnormalities related to complex congenital heart conditions.
Article Abstract
We report a case of a 1-year-old boy with double outlet right ventricle where computed tomography (CT) angiography incidentally demonstrated the separate origin of the left external and internal carotid arteries directly from the left-sided aortic arch with absence of a left common carotid artery. The case highlights the underlying embryological hypothesis as well as the importance of CT angiography in identifying anomalies of the aortic arch and arch vessels in the setting of complex congenital heart defects.
