Interrupted aortic arch anomaly (IAA) characterized by complete luminal dissociation between the ascending and descending aorta and accounting for less than 1% of all cases of congenital heart disease. IAA is a rare condition in infants that occurs approximately three times per million births. It is usually diagnosed and repaired during the neonatal period and is extremely rare in adults. We present the case of an adult man who was diagnosed with IAA accompanied by intracranial aneurysms causing subarachnoid hemorrhage and demonstrate the imaging findings with 256-slice computed tomography angiography and digital subtraction angiography.
主动脉弓中断畸形(IAA)的特征是升主动脉和降主动脉之间完全分离,占所有先天性心脏病病例的不到 1%。IAA 在婴儿中较为罕见,每百万例出生中约发生 3 例。它通常在新生儿期被诊断和修复,在成年人中极为罕见。我们报告了一例成人 IAA 合并颅内动脉瘤导致蛛网膜下腔出血的病例,并通过 256 层 CT 血管造影和数字减影血管造影显示了其影像学表现。
