An anomalous origin of the right vertebral artery (VA) is a rare anomaly that is much rarer than that of the left VA. It can be divided into a few patterns, including aortic origin, right carotid or brachiocephalic arterial origin, and duplicated origin. In embryological development, the VA is made up of a longitudinal anastomosis between cervical segments. The mechanism of the anomalous origin of the right VA can be explained by the persistence of the cervical segmental artery and the regression point of the 4th right aortic arch. Although the anomaly is usually found incidentally on imaging modalities, it can be a potential cause of complication during surgical and interventional procedures. However, there are a lot of reports about the radiomics of the anomaly. Therefore, we discuss the potential relationship between the anomalous origin of the right VA and radiomics. As the take-home message, understanding several patterns of anomalous origin of the right VA with their embryology and imaging findings is important for surgical and endovascular interventions to avoid intraprocedural complications.

In this case presentation we describe a patient with an anomalous origin of the right vertebral artery arising from the right common carotid artery in combination with an aberrant right subclavian artery and a left vertebral artery originating from the arch between the left common carotid artery and left subclavian artery. Hence there were five vessels originating from the aortic arch. The possible embryological mechanism as well as a postulation on the importance of the level of entrance of the vertebral artery in the cervical transverse foramen is discussed.

<p>Context: Anatomical and morphological variations of the aortic arch and its branches are important in relation to thoracic and neck surgery. However, developmental abnormalities of the vertebral arteries are generally considered to be very rare. They have mostly been described in single case reports or small series. Thus, there is a need for further knowledge as an aid in planning surgery on the aortic arch or endovascular interventions. Objective: To report on a case of anomalous origin in the left vertebral artery. Case report: In a male cadaver, a left vertebral artery with its origin in the aortic arch between the left common carotid and left subclavian arteries was observed. Its length was 120 mm, and its diameter was 5.5 mm. It entered the transverse foramen of the third cervical vertebra. Conclusion: Knowledge of the anatomical variation of the origin of the vertebral artery is important not only diagnostically but also in planning surgery on the aortic arch or endovascular interventions.</p>

ABSTRACT A six-month-old female cat suffered aspiration of an abundant amount of barium sulfate during a radiographic procedure for the diagnosis of megaesophagus. Latero-lateral contrast radiography revealed severe dilation of the thoracic esophagus cranial to the base of the heart. Persistence of the right aortic arch was suspected and later confirmed during corrective surgery. Accumulation of barium sulfate, used as a contrast agent, was clearly observed in the lumen of the bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli in the radiographic image. Days after the surgery, the animal developed severe respiratory distress, which resulted in death. Cytology results and histology analysis using polarized light demonstrated that the lumen of bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli exhibited evident histiocytic infiltration with cytoplasm filled by abundant amorphous refractive granular material consistent with barium sulfate. In this report, we describe the anatomical, cytological, histopathological (using polarized light), and x-ray findings of a case of barium sulfate aspiration pneumonia in a cat resulting from the use of this contrast medium for the diagnosis of megaesophagus secondary to persistent right aortic arch.

AbstractThe right aortic arch is a congenital vascular anomaly, which may form a vascular ring. However, prenatal identification of the branching pattern of brachiocephalic vessels is often limited. In this paper, we clearly demonstrated the branching pattern of brachiocephalic vessels in a case of right aortic arch with an aberrant left subclavian artery using HDlive Flow imaging.
