Abstract

The left brachiocephalic vein (LBCV) usually passes superior and anterior to the aortic arch. In rare cases, this vein follows an anomalous course. We present a case of duplicated circumaortic LBCV in a 10-year-old child with Tetralogy of Fallot.

Keywords: Brachiocephalic vein; circumaortic; venous ring.
