title: [Diagnosis of a left-sided cervical aortic arch with nuclear magnetic resonance tomography].
abstract: Aortic arch anomalies are rare. They arise as a failure of the normal development of the left fourth dorsal arch. Cervical aortic arches are believed to result from persistence of the third dorsal arch, which re-routes the aortic arch in the cervical region. We describe a case of a left-sided cervical aortic arch in which the diagnosis was confirmed, and the anatomy defined, using magnetic resonance tomography.
