Abstract
We report a case of a 2-year-old girl with 22q11 deletion syndrome who underwent studies for cardiac murmur. Ultrasound, computed tomography angiography and digital subtraction angiography revealed an aberrant right subclavian artery and an isolated right internal carotid artery (ICA) originating from the right pulmonary artery. A right carotid rete mirabile (CRM) and a proatlantal (Pa) type 1 artery were also found. We hypothesize that Pa type 1 persistence and CRM development are secondary to the reversal of flow of the isolated ICA.Entities:
