Three-dimensional CT imaging of aneurysm of aberrant right subclavian artery.
We report a case of an aneurysm originating from an aberrant right subclavian artery, which was incidentally found as a compression deformity of the upper esophagus on a barium study in a 46-year-old man. Computed tomography (CT) clearly demonstrated the aneurysm of the aberrant right subclavian artery. In particular, reconstructed three-dimensional CT (3D-CT) was valuable in evaluating the positional relationships between the anomalous vessel with aneurysm and other structures.
