Cervical aortic arch (CAA) is a rare congenital aortic anomaly. Although, in CAA, other cardio vascular abnormalities including aortic aneurysm and aortic coarctation are occasionally accom panied, coexistence of those 2 aortic abnormalities on the same patient is rare, and moreover, association of the aneurysm of branching artery has not been reported. The authors present here the first patient with CAA who had both an aneurysm and a coarctation in the aortic arch, and further, another aneurysm in the left subclavian artery. Clinical characteristics of CAA with either aortic aneurysm or aortic coarctation are reviewed.
