Apresentação atípica de divertículo de Kommerell

Abstract: The authors report a case of a 65-year-old male patient who, after complaint about retrosternal discomfort and going through a thoracic radiography with mediastinal enlargement, was submitted to magnetic resonance angiography, which detected a right aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery and Kommerell diverticulum. A literature review was the basis for our clinical conduct, for the surgical treatment is complex. The patient presented improvement with clinical treatment and, currently, is under ambula… Show more

“…Right-sided aortic arch with aberrant subclavian artery typically does not cause symptoms which are mainly due to the presence of a vascular ring [ 10 ]. Also, symptoms may stem from atherosclerotic changes in the abnormal blood vessels, which can lead to dissection, aneurysm formation that can compress nearby structures, resulting in dysphagia (known as dysphagia lusoria) and dyspnea [ 11 , 12 ]. By ligating and splitting the ligamentum arteriosum or by resecting a large diverticulum and anastomosing the left subclavian artery with the left common carotid artery, symptoms like dysphagia or dyspnea may be relieved [ 13 ].…”

“…Estes divertículos podem ser de três tipos: tipo I -divertículo em arco aórtico à esquerda com artéria subclávia direita anômala, tipo II -divertículo em arco aórtico à direita com artéria subclávia esquerda anômala e tipo III -divertículo aórtico em junção aortoductal 13 . O primeiro tipo foi originalmente descrito por Kommerell, em um caso de subclávia direita aberrante com arco aórtico à esquerda, sendo a combinação de subclávia esquerda aberrante em arco aórtico à direita extremamente rara 9 .…”

“…Raramente pode ocorrer uma dilatação na origem do vaso aberrante chamada de aneurisma ou divertículo de Kommerell. O divertículo de Kommerell é mais comumente associado com arco aórtico à esquerda e artéria subclávia anômala (ASA) direita (0,5-2%) do que com o arco aórtico à direita e ASA esquerda (0,05-0,1%) 8,9,10 . Neste último, o arco aórtico à direita, a ASA e o canal arterial ou ligamento arterioso circundam a traqueia e esôfago, resultando em anel vascular completo, em que a dilatação do vaso anômalo (divertículo) reforça a compressão.…”
