Abstract
Anomalies of the aortic root vessels may present in adulthood and are not uncommonly found. We present a case of a middle-aged man who was found to have a Kommerell's divericulum during standard vascular imaging. Vascular ring presenting for the first time in adulthood may run a benign course requiring no surgical intervention or repair.
