ABSTRACT

Many diseases of thoracic aorta and aortic arch disorders have been noted in individuals irrespective of gender without any predilection to specific age group. However, aortic arch anomalies are conditions with an atypical combination of respiratory, oesophageal and cervical regional involvement resulting in unusual presentation. It is essential to diagnose anatomical vascular deviations such as the cervical aortic arch and bovine branching pattern to suggest further diagnostic and treatment options whenever required as per the severity of compression of adjacent anatomical structures.
