Abstract :

The right and left verteal arteries originate, most commonly, from the corresponding subclavian arteries, without presenting a mediastinal path. The anomalous origin of the right verteal artery is quite rare, with few cases described in the literature and, in general, it is an incidental finding in imaging studies. The verteal artery with anomalous origin can present a retroesophageal path, and thus it can be called lusory right verteal artery.
