Abstract


 

Right aortic arch anomaly (RAAA) is a seldomly encountered condition. As it may present with other vascular abnormalities, it may also present alone. It usually becomes symptomatic at childhood, and symptoms like dyspnea and dsyphagia, if there is compression on trachea or esophagus, may be encountered. Sometimes it is coincidentally diagnosed with radiological methods in asymptomatic individuals who were admitted to the hospital for other reasons. RAAA was diagnosed with by chest x-ray and dynamic thorax computed tomography for asymptomatic a 47 year-old woman who was admitted to the hospital due to a traffic accident. This patient was presented as a case report since it is a rarely seen syndrome diagnosed coincidentally in patients who remained asymptomatic for several years.

Key Words: Right aortic arch anomaly, Chest x-ray, Thorax computed tomography.
