# V Aortic Arch Remnant

## 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.

## Key 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.
