ABSTRACT
An aberrant right subclavian artery, the most common congenital anomaly of the aortc arch, is rarely symptomatic during the infancy, if an anomalous origin of a right common carotid artery is also associateda varient of innomiate artery compression syndrome. We experienced a case of an aberrent right subclavian artery associated with an anomalous origin of the right common carotid artery in a female newborn, who showed severe respiratory distress soon after birth. The diagnosis was confirmed by aortogram and operative findings. the ligature and section of the aberrent right subclavian artery resulted in improvement of respiratory distress. A brief review of the related literature is also presented.

An autopsy case of agyria in a newborn infant was reported. This neonate had her birth weight of 1.62kg after 40 weeks of gestation. The head circumference was 24cm(less than 3 percentile), and was slightly asymmetric. The brain weighed 60 grams. Fronto-occipital diameter was 7cm. And biparietal diameter was 6.5cm. Two small hemispheres were covered with opague congested leptomeninges, and barely no demonstrable gyrial pattern was recongnized. Interhemispheric fissure, Sylvian fissure and Hippocampal fissures was recognized together with poorly developed olfactory fissure. Cerebral mantle consisted of diffusely thick, 4 layered cortex that is hardly distinguishable rom underlying white matter. Multifocal granule cell heterotopias of cerebellum and neruonal heterotopia in interior Olivary nuclei were seen. Besides, dural anomalies and posterior fossa cyst were observed in this case. Extraneural anomalies consisted of ostium secundum atrial septal defet, low-set ears and high-arched palate.
