Abstract
|
|
|
Double aortic arch is the most common among vasular structure anomalies in infancy.
It's clinical manifestations vary from incidental discovery without symptoms to symptoms of
tracheal or esophageal compression such as stridor, wheezing, excessive secretion, dyspnea
and dysphagia. Characteristically many patiets show little sign of respiratory difficulty during
sleep and quiet monents but this symptom is frequenly exacerbated by crying or exertion,
which may be difficult to distinguish from bronchial asthma. CT and MRI are believed to be
the most valuable methods of diagnosis and surgical intervention is necessary in severe cases.
Recently, we experienced a case of dyspnea due to double aortic arch. So we report this case
with review of literatures.
