Cervical aortic arch is a very rare anomaly presented as a pulsatile mass on the neck and usually with symptoms of dysphagia, cough and hoarseness. Rarer than the cervical aortic arch, is the aneurysm formation and, despite the equal sex distribution of cervical aortic arch, aneurysm formation always occurs in young females with only nine cases reported. We report herein a 24-year-old woman, diagnosed as cervical aortic arch with aneurysm formation due to basophilic degeneration, treated successfully with surgical intervention. To our knowledge no similar case has been reported.
颈主动脉弓是一种非常罕见的异常情况，表现为颈部搏动性肿块，通常伴有吞咽困难、咳嗽和声音嘶哑等症状。比颈主动脉弓更罕见的是动脉瘤形成，尽管颈主动脉弓在男女中的发病率相同，但动脉瘤形成总是发生在年轻女性中，仅有9例报道。我们在此报告一名24岁女性，因嗜碱性变性被诊断为颈主动脉弓合并动脉瘤形成，经手术干预成功治疗。据我们所知，尚无类似病例报道。
