Left innominate vein compression by a brachiocephalic artery anomaly

An unique case of left innominate vein compression by a leftward origin of a brachiocephalic artery in conjunction with an aberrant right subclavian artery anomaly occurred in a young patient. Aortography and magnetic resonance imaging were invaluable in arriving at a diagnosis.
