Case report demonstrates a type II right aortic arch with Kommerell diverticulum in a 76-year-old male, highlighting computed tomography for detecting vascular anomalies.
This case report discusses a 76-year-old male with a right aortic arch and an aberrant retroesophageal left subclavian artery, identified during a CT scan. The imaging revealed Kommerell's diverticulum without affecting the pulmonary trunk. Classified as type II, this variant emphasizes the role of CT in diagnosing congenital thoracic aortic anomalies, often missed by echocardiography.
