Abstract
|
|
|
|
Vascular ring, caused by Kommerell’s diverticulum and ligamentum arteriosum, in a patient with right aortic arch and mirror image branching is extremely rare. A 10-month-old boy with coughing and stridor was diagnosed as having tracheo-esophageal stenosis, which is caused by a vascular ring with Kommerell’s diverticulum, ligamentum arteriosum, right aortic arch, and mirror image branching. Kommerell’s diverticulum was successfully resected via a left thoracotomy. The patient has been free from tracheo-esophageal stenosis for a year after the surgery.
