The high-riding superior aortic recess of the pericardium: MRI visualization in a child

Authors: Mervyn Cohen, Tiffanie Johnson, Mark Hoyer

Abstract

We report a 4-year-old child with a high-riding superior aortic recess of the pericardium, initially misdiagnosed as a possible vascular malformation. The anatomy of the pericardial recesses is reviewed.
