Abstract
Pulmonary artery sling is a rare congenital condition in which the left pulmonary artery arises from the right pulmonary artery forming a sling around the trachea. This causes tracheal compression with the resulting respiratory symptoms. Most cases are associated with cardiovascular and tracheobronchial abnormalities. Some cases present incidentally without respiratory symptoms in adolescents and adults. We report a case with double left aberrant pulmonary artery associated with multiorgan anomalies which was incidentally found.
