Aortic arch thrombosis (AAT) of the neonate is rare but life-threatening by fatal compromise associated with thrombotic obstruction of the ascending aorta. We report a neonate with AAT who demonstrated a severe coarctation of the aorta and cerebral hypo-perfusion immediately after birth. Echocardiography confirmed the diagnosis of AAT on the findings of a large thrombus located on the transverse arch and blocking the cervical arterial branches. Low-molecular-weight heparin reduced the size of the thrombus and improved the hemodynamics of coarctation and cerebral perfusion. Echocardiography is a powerful tool to make a diagnosis and to monitor the size and regression of AAT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
