A Rare Association of Abdominal Aortic Aortoarteritis with Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava

Abstract

We present findings of persistent left superior vena cava and abdominal aortic stenosis detected incidentally by CT pulmonary angiography. To our knowledge, there has been no previous case report with all of the above findings detected by CT. In addition to the radiological findings and their clinical significance, the anatomy and embryological explanation of each anomaly is discussed.
