Cephalad arteries in girl with neurologic symptoms due to subclavian steal syndrome (angio-CT)

Angio-CT of the cephalad arteries in the spatial projection presentation from a 10-year-old girl with neurologic symptoms due to subclavian steal syndrome. The left common carotid artery (a), the right common carotid artery (b), the right vertebral artery (c), and the right subclavian artery (d) branch off from the aortic arch. The left subclavian artery (f), critically narrowed at the ostium (g), leaves in the immediate vicinity of the origin of the ductus arteriosus (h). The left vertebral body (e) is at least twice as narrow as the contralateral vertebral body (c). (Szmigielska A, Buczyński M, Śledziewska A, Małgorzata-Pańczyk-Tomaszewska, Furmanek MI.
