Introduction: Vascular rings, due to the double aortic arch, are a class of congenital anomalies, considered as an important cause of tracheoesophageal compression. These anomalies are usually symptomless and thus are diagnosed fortunately when imaging is being performed for other reasons.
Case Report:We report a clinical case of a patient with a history of dysphagia in his childhood, never labeled or treated.
Conclusion:Currently, advanced imaging, especially computed tomography (CT), is the diagnostic procedure of choice of the double aortic arch. It can be associated with other anatomical variants. Surgical repair leads to excellent long-term prognosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
