Core Tip
Core Tip: A cervical aortic arch (CAA) is a rare congenital anomaly of vascular development and refers to a high-riding aortic arch that often extends above the level of the clavicle. This paper reports a case of a unique CAA with aneurysm formation and an anomalous right subclavian artery and left vertebral artery. The present unique case enriches existing CAA data.
