Anomalous origin of the left pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta is a rare cardiac malformation more commonly described with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). The association of absent right carotid artery with TOF and anomalous left pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta has been rarely reported in the past. This case highlights the need for careful evaluation of the aortic arch and head vessels anatomy in patients with TOF because of the potential neurologic complications after surgery.
左肺动脉起源于升主动脉是一种罕见的心脏畸形,更常见于法洛四联症(TOF)。既往很少报道右颈动脉缺如合并TOF及左肺动脉起源于升主动脉的情况。该病例强调了对于TOF患者需要仔细评估主动脉弓和头颈部血管解剖结构,因为术后可能出现神经系统并发症。
