Aortic Arch Aneurysm in a Child: The Role of Multislice Computed Tomography

Authors: Mohammad Ali Navabi, Hussein Rayatzadeh

Published in: Pediatric Cardiology | Issue 1/2010

Abstract

A 10-year-old girl came to our cardiac clinic complaining of chest pain. She had a history of aortic arch reconstruction 9 years ago. On chest X-ray, a calcified dilated aortic arch was found. Additionally, using a multislice computed tomography scan, the dimensions of the aneurysm were better illustrated. During the reoperation, the aneurysm was resected.
