Abstract

We present three-dimensial reconstructed images of the vascular ring of a 4-day-old extremely premature neonate which were obtained utilizing multidetector computer tomography. This is a unique case of early detection of Kommerell’s diverticulum and vascular ring in an extremely low-birth-weight infant using this noninvasive technology.
