✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Nine cases of aberrant right subclavian artery were identified after review of 674 magnetic resonance (MR) studies of the cervical spine. This common aortic arch anomaly is readily identified on sagittal MR images. All vessels were found in the typical retroesophageal location, abutting the esophagus from the vertebral C‐7 to T‐3 levels. Arterial flow created signal voids on T1‐weighted images and confirmatory increased signal intensity due to flowrelated enhancement on gradient‐echo images. This anomaly should be recognized and distinguished from pathologic processes in the prevertebral space. The diagnosis may allay patient concern regarding their dysphagia and also have important ramifications in certain clinical settings.

## Abstract Reports of aneurysms of the subclavian artery in both normal and anomalous aortic arches have been rare. The authors describe a patient with a right‐side aortic arch and an aneurysm of the aberrant left subclavian artery, which, to the authors' knowledge, is a previously unreported asso
