Bilateral common carotid artery common trunk with aberrant right subclavian artery combined with right subclavian steal syndrome: A case report.
World Journal of Clinical Cases 2019 November 7
BACKGROUND: We report a rare case of numbness in the right hand, finally diagnosed as bilateral common carotid artery common trunk with aberrant right subclavian artery combined with right subclavian steal syndrome and explain the cause of these diseases.
CASE SUMMARY: The patient was a 65-year-old woman. She complained of dizziness, numbness and weakness of the right hand for 6 mo. She was diagnosed with bilateral common carotid artery common trunk with aberrant right subclavian artery combined with right subclavian steal syndrome by ultrasound, enhanced computed tomography, computed tomography angiography and other examinations. Considering the surgical risks, the patient refused the aberrant right subclavian artery stent implantation and was discharged. We hypothesize that these two kinds of deformity and right subclavian steal syndrome may not occur by accident and result from multiple malformations.
CONCLUSION: Bilateral common carotid artery common trunk with aberrant right subclavian artery combined with right subclavian steal syndrome is rare. This case reminds interventional radiologists of the possibility of these abnormalities before surgery.
