Abstract

A case of aortic dissection extending to an aberrant right subclavian artery seen at CT and MRI is reported. The clinical and imaging patterns of this rare disease are described and compared with those of the literature. Multiplanar views are, in this particular case, very useful for a precise assessment of the involved aberrant artery.
