A CASE OF DOUBLE AORTIC ARCUS

Abstract

Abnormalities of vascular ring which constitute 0.7 % of the congenital heart diseases are an important cause of tracheoesophageal obstruction in neonates and in early infancy. The symptoms may be life-threatening due to the degree of compression. We present here a 5-month-old boy presenting with the complaints of cough and noisy respiration. He experienced cyanosis and respiratory failure requiring ventilatory support and rapidly hospitalised. Thorax HRCT demonstrated that descending aorta was at the right paravertebral area. Barium scan of esophageus and Thorax Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) led to the diagnosis of double aortic arcus. Right aortic arcus was larger than the left at cardiac catheterisation. After surgery the symptoms improved strikingly. We conclude that vascular ring should be considered in the patients presenting with recurrent pulmonary infections, inspiratory stridor, and dysphagia. Early diagnosis and treatment may prevent chronic, irreversible complications.
