Abstract

Various branch anomalies of the aortic arch have been reported, but cases with separate origins of the internal and external carotid arteries with combined direct aortic arch origin of the left vertebral artery are extremely rare. Herein, we present a rare case of aplasia of the left common carotid artery with separate origins of the ipsilateral internal and external carotid arteries and vertebral artery from the aortic arch in a 10-year-old girl. In addition, we review the embryological development and clinical implications of these anatomical variations.

대동맥궁 줄기의 다양한 기시변이는 잘 알려져 있으나 속목동맥과 바깥목동맥의 독립적인 기시와 동반된 척추동맥의 대동맥궁 직접 기시에 대한 보고는 매우 드물다. 저자들은 10세 여아에서 왼쪽 온목동맥의 무형성과 동측 속목동맥, 바깥목동맥 및 척추동맥이 대동맥궁에서 직접 기시하는 매우 드문 복합 변이를 증례로 보고하고자 한다. 또한, 이 증례 보고를 통해 해당 변이의 발생학적 기전과 임상적 의의를 살펴보았다.
