OBJECTIVE: We present 10 patients with double aortic arch with atresia of the distal left arch segment, a form of incomplete double aortic arch, and describe the distinct MRI and CT findings for this potentially symptomatic vascular ring. CONCLUSION: Knowledge of the distinctive imaging appearance of this congenital arch anomaly can direct the radiologist to the correct preoperative diagnosis.
