A Fatal Case of Ruptured Aberrant Left Subclavian Artery into the Oesophagus
By: P. R. C. Wijenayaka and U. C. P. Perera
Abstract
A right-sided aortic arch is a rare congenital abnormality and could be sometimes associated with an aberrant left subclavian artery which runs behind the oesophagus. It is usually incidentally diagnosed during adulthood unless it gives pressure effects on the adjacent structures. Here we present a case of 35-year-old mother with a period of amenorrhea of 9 weeks who scummed to death due to massive bleeding following ruptured aberrant left subclavian artery into the oesophagus.
