Kommerell's diverticulum is a rare congenital disorder characterized by typical right sided aortic arch and aberrant left subclavian artery which are usually detected by accident in asymptomatic patients. However, some of patients complain of severe symptoms caused by compression of the adjacent organs or complicated aortic dissection by the diverticulum. Early detection of the disease can lead to elective surgical correction. In this article, we report a Kommerell's diverticulum case initially detected by transesophageal echocardiography.
科默雷尔憩室是一种罕见的先天性疾病,其特征为典型的右侧主动脉弓和异常的左锁骨下动脉,通常在无症状患者中偶然发现。然而,一些患者会抱怨憩室压迫相邻器官或并发主动脉夹层导致的严重症状。疾病的早期发现可导致择期手术矫正。在本文中,我们报告了一例最初经食管超声心动图检测出的科默雷尔憩室病例。
