Anomalous sub aortic left brachiocephalic vein: A case report

Abstract

The left brachiocephalic vein occasionally follows an aberrant course. It is usually associated with congenital cardiac anomaly. We present a case of anomalous left brachiocephalic vein which followed a sub aortic course, with no cardiac abnormality. Multi detector computed tomography is very useful in accurate diagnosis of this condition and prevents any further investigation in cases of isolated abnormalities. © Colégio Brasileiro de Radiologia e Diagnóstico por Imagem.
