Abstract

The clinical diagnosis of cervical aortic arch rests on the detection of a pulsatile mass in the supraclavicular fossa. Unfortunately, clinical differentiation of a cervical arch from an aneurysm of the great vessels can be difficult. Dynamic computed tomography (CT) can aid in this differentiation and avert the need for angiography.
