  • Title: Neonatal magnetic resonance imaging in double aortic arch diagnosed prenatally by ultrasound.
    Author: Trobo Marina D, Bravo C, Lancharro Á, Gámez Alderete F, Marín C, de León-Luis J.
    Journal: J Obstet Gynaecol; 2016 May; 36(4):526-8. PubMed ID: 26979672.
    Abstract:
    Congenital double aortic arch (DAA) is an uncommon vascular anomaly; however, its prenatal detection is associated with congenital heart defects and chromosomal abnormalities, including 22q11 deletion. We present a case of DAA diagnosed prenatally. DAA can be diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound in the transverse three vessel-trachea view, which shows a trident image formed by a complete vascular ring and the ductus arteriosus. Postnatal magnetic resonance images in this view correlate well with prenatal ultrasound images and help in confirmation of diagnosis, evaluation of the risk of airway or esophageal compression, and planning of surgery.
