We present a case of a 4-year-old child operated previously for cyanotic congenital heart disease where the follow-up computed tomography (CT) angiography revealed anomalous origin of the left vertebral artery from the descending thoracic aorta. This case also highlights the potential implications of this variant and the value of CT angiography in diagnosing this anomaly.
我们报告一例4岁儿童,该患儿曾因青紫型先天性心脏病接受手术,其随访计算机断层扫描(CT)血管造影显示左椎动脉起源于胸降主动脉,属异常情况。该病例还凸显了这种变异的潜在影响以及CT血管造影在诊断这一异常中的价值。
