Agenesis of the left common carotid artery with independent origins of the internal and external carotid arteries arising directly from the aortic arch is an extremely rare congenital anomaly. We present MR angiographic findings in a case with agenesis of left common carotid artery that, to our knowledge, is unique by virtue of its detection and description with MR angiography.
左侧颈总动脉缺如,颈内动脉和颈外动脉分别直接起自主动脉弓,这是一种极其罕见的先天性异常。我们报告一例左侧颈总动脉缺如患者的磁共振血管造影(MR angiography)表现,据我们所知,通过磁共振血管造影检测和描述该病例是独一无二的。
