Trachea and Oesophagus Compression by DAA

A vascular ring is an anomaly of the great arteries (aortic arch and its branches) that compresses trachea or oesophagus. It presents as respiratory and GI symptoms. Double aortic arch is the most common vascular ring. It typically becomes symptomatic in infancy or early childhood. We present herein a rare case of an infant with double aortic arch who presented with respiratory distress and GI symptoms. The diagnosis was made by barium swallow, contrast-enhanced computed tomography chest, and MRI chest. Thereafter, the patient was referred to higher centre for surgical management
