Presentation
Patient complaining of dorsal pain. History of breast cancer. No dysphagia
Patient Data
Hypointense rounded structure both on T1 and T2, just anterior to the dorsal spine impressing the esophagus that does not look proximally.
On the coronal image, an aberrant artery originating from the aortic arch is seen.
Case Discussion
As often happens this was an accidental finding even if it can cause dysphagia (dysphagia lusoria)
The origin and course of the aberrant right subclavian artery (aka arteria lusoria) are well seen in the coronal acquisition.
In our institution, a coronal acquisition is part of the standard spine exam providing useful additional information.
