Methods:A Retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at TASH, college of health science in patients who had post contrast chest CT from January 2019 to January 2021. Results:A Total of 448 children were included in the study and 270(60.3%) were male and 178 (39.7%) were female. And Ages of the participants ranged from 1 to 14 years of age with a mean of 6.4 ± 3.79 years. The most common aortic branching pattern that was seen in study was the Type A branching pattern with 320 (72.2 %), Followed by the Type B1 pattern with 80 (18.1%)patients. Conclusion: Variation and anomalies of the aortic arch are common findings and knowledge about the different types of aortic arch anomalies is important for properpre surgical planning.
