Kommerell Diverticulum

Kommerell diverticulum is a rare congenital anomaly of the aortic arch characterized by dilation at the proximal descending aorta, which gives rise to an aberrant subclavian artery. Kommerell diverticulum is usually asymptomatic, but can also be associated with symptoms due to compression of the esophagus or trachea, and can rarely be fatal due to dissection or rupture of the diverticulum. Here, we report a rare case of dysphagia caused by compression of the esophagus by Kommerell diverticulum originating from the right-sided aortic arch.

Abstract A right-sided descending aorta with a left aortic arch is a rare congenital anomaly in which the aortic arch crosses the midline from the left side of the trachea coursing to the descending aorta in the right thoracic cavity. The surgical repair of an interrupted aortic arch with a right-sided descending aorta carries great risks of bronchial and oesophageal obstruction. Herein, we describe a case of successful surgical repair of an interrupted aortic arch with a right-sided descending aorta using the swing-back and trap-door techniques.

Abstract We present a case of surgical treatment of a pseudoaneurysm of the right-sided aortic arch after stent implantation for primary coarctation in a 36-year-old woman with a previous history of ventricle septal defect closure in early childhood. As a first step, she underwent a left carotid to subclavian artery bypass for an aberrant left subclavian artery and as a second step a ‘beating heart’ aortic arch and descending aorta replacement via resternotomy. The postoperative course was uneventful.

Aberrant right subclavian artery is a rare cause of dysphagia. This is a congenital anomaly with the right subclavian artery originating from the dorsal part of the aortic arch and coursing through the mediastinum between the esophagus and the vertebral column. We report a case of a patient with chronic dysphagia caused by this condition. We further discuss the case with regards to its clinical features and options of management.

An aberrant right subclavian artery is a congenital aortic arch anomaly in which the right subclavian artery originates from the proximal descending aorta. The presence of an aberrant right subclavian artery can make right transradial coronary interventions more difficult and even lead to complications. Iatrogenic intramural hematomas and dissection of aberrant right subclavian arteries during transradial coronary angiography have been previously reported. We herein report a case of iatrogenic aortic dissection following attempts to perform right transradial coronary angiography in a patient with an aberrant right subclavian artery. Clinicians should be vigilant for the presence of an aberrant right subclavian artery during right transradial coronary angiography and ensure gentle manipulation of wires and catheters to avoid complications.

Abstract Isolated origin of the subclavian artery is a congenital anomaly of the aortic arch in which one subclavian artery is attached to the ipsilateral pulmonary artery through ligamentous arteriosus. An isolated right subclavian artery with the left-sided aortic arch is an extremely rare condition. We report on an asymptomatic 2-year-old-girl, who was referred because of an incidental cardiac a murmur. She was diagnosed by echocardiography to have an isolated right subclavian artery connected to the right pulmonary artery in a left aortic arch with a ventricular septal defect. MRI confirmed the findings.

Testicular Ectopia

Transverse testicular ectopia is a rare congenital anomaly in which both testes are located in the same hemiscrotum or inguinal region. The mean age at presentation was reported as 4 years. It is more common on the right side. We here report a case with incarcerated inguinal hernia and transverse testicular ectopia. The most important points in the diagnosis of transverse testicular ectopia are to be aware of this infrequent malformation and performing genitourinary examination of male newborns.
