Abstract

Double aortic arch is the most common among vascular 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 patients show little sign of respiratory difficulty during sleep and quiet monents but this symptom is frequently 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.
