TL;DR
A rare aortic arch remnant was found in a 70-year-old man during a CT scan for prostate cancer.
Contribution
The discovery of a probable minimal V aortic arch remnant has not been previously reported.
Findings
A thin intima–media band was observed connecting the anterior and posterior aortic walls.
The finding was incidental and unrelated to the patient's prostate cancer staging.
Abstract
Here, we describe the case of an asymptomatic 70-year-old male patient who performed a contrast-enhanced computed tomography examination for prostate cancer staging, and an exceptional finding was reported. Specifically, a probable and never before reported minimal V aortic arch remnant with a thin intima–media band that joins together the anterior and posterior aortic walls.
