Air Way Instability due to Pulmonary Artery Sling combined with Diffuse Tracheal Stenosis

Abstract
|
|
|
Pulmonary artery sling is a rare congenital condition in which the left pulmonary artery arises anomalously from the right pulmonary artery extrapericardially and encircles the right main stem bronchus and passes between the trachea and
esophaghus
to
reach the hiium of the left lung.
Respiratory obstruction results from compression of the lower area of trachea and right main stem bronchus. It is rare cause of respiratory distress in the new born and may be associated with significant morbidity and mortality.
We experienced the case of pulmonary artery sling with diffuse trachea stenosis and congenital heart disease (pulmonary atresia and PDA) and confirmed the anomaly by bronchogram and MRI. The presumed cause of death was respiratory obsruction due
to
pulmonary artery sling.
