Clin Case Rep. 2024 Dec 15;12(12):e70011. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.70011. eCollection 2024 Dec.

Abstract

Vascular malformations of the aortic arch and its main branches such as cervical aortic arch and high-riding brachiocephalic artery can present as pulsatile neck swelling. Although this entity is rare, an initial Doppler ultrasound is suggested before intervention to avoid complications from unidentified aberrant vessels.

Keywords: cervical aortic arch; high‐riding brachiocephalic trunk; high‐riding innominate artery; pulsatile neck mass.
