Fig.2. Sequential CT images of 5-year-3-month-old girl with unusual
course of anomalous brachiocephalic vein (pattern a + b) (pound
sign). Particular features include tetralogy of Fallot with atretic
pulmonary trunk, hypoplastic right pulmonary artery, right-sided aortic arch,
and aberrant left subclavian artery (arrowheads). Anomalous
brachiocephalic vein is located on left, lateral and anterior to left common
carotid artery (asterisk) at thoracic inlet. Before crossing beneath
aortic arch, this vein passes in front of left common carotid artery. Entry of
azygos arch (arrow) into superior vena cava (S) is lower than that of
anomalous brachiocephalic vein. Several major aortopulmonary collateral
arteries are evident around carina (C) and in subcarinal region. T = trachea,
L = left pulmonary artery.
