Aortic arch anomalies encompass a diverse spectrum of conditions. Elucidating the prevalence of these anomalies, their impact on patient wellbeing, and the most effective diagnostic tools are crucial steps in ensuring optimal patient care. This paper aims to explore the various presentations of aortic arch anomalies, emphasizing the remarkable utility of computed tomography (CT) angiography in their definitive diagnosis and characterization.

Pseudocoarctation of the aorta (PCoA) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the abnormal kinking of the thoracic aorta. It is often incidentally diagnosed but gained clinical significance due to its propensity to develop aortic aneurysm and rupture. A standard diagnostic and treatment algorithm for PCoA is lacking, and also, the natural history of the disease is not well studied.

Background: Isolated redundant foramen ovale flap aneurysm (RFOA) in the absence of restrictive foramen ovale is believed to be a cause for pseudocoarctation of aorta since the impediment of blood flow to the left heart can be severe, resembling the picture of left ventricular hypoplasia with retrograde aortic flow. The primary objective of the study is to find whether RFOA is always a benign lesion. The main focus of the study is to share my experience in particular on fetuses having redundant foramen ovale flap aneurysm developing into coarctation of aorta and to study the associated factors.
