title: Aortic arch aneurysm in a child: the role of multislice computed tomography.
abstract: A 10-year-old girl came to our cardiac clinic complaining of chest pain. She had a history of aortic arch reconstruction 9 years ago. On chest X-ray, a calcified dilated aortic arch was found. Additionally, using a multislice computed tomography scan, the dimensions of the aneurysm were better illustrated. During the reoperation, the aneurysm was resected.
