Demonstration of innominate artery aneurysm by magnetic resonance/imaging.
Solitary innominate artery aneurysms are very rare in the pediatric age group. They may be seen in association with multiple aneurysms or occasionally in patients with connective tissue disease. Magnetic resonance appears to be a very useful noninvasive technique capable of demonstrating flowing blood and vascular lumen without injection of contrast media.
