ABSTRACT

We present the first case of aberrant right subclavian artery in interruption of the aortic arch that was diagnosed in the Children Hospital of the Sonora State in a newborn male whom had symptoms of distress respiratory, cyanosis and precordial murmur. Physical exam suggested Di George syndrome phenotypic characteristic and in his hospital stay had persistent hypocalcemia. Diagnosis of the interruption of the aortic arch type B was made by Echocardiography 2D and the other vascular anomaly associated, by computed tomographic angiography that permitted for identifying anatomic features from aberrant origin of the right subclavian artery leaving from interrupted distal aortic segment. We recommended to make this study as a complement for evaluation of this patients when is not possible to detect by Echocardiography and other associated vascular anomalies as in this case.
