“…The longest erroneous diagnoses described are two with resistant asthma, who received treatment respectively for 30 and 50 years, until they both resulted in having a DAA . Similar diagnostic errors can be made with gastrointestinal symptoms . For this reason, it is essential to consider also VRs in the differental diagnosis of cases with non‐responsiveness to treatment for gastro‐esophageal reflux and/or asthma .…”

Congenital vascular rings: A clinical challenge for the pediatrician

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Vascular rings are congenital anomalies that lead to variable degrees of respiratory problems or feeding difficulties by forming a complete or partial ring compressing the trachea, the bronchi, and the esophagus. The clinical diagnosis of vascular rings is often challenging for the pediatrician because the clinical manifestations are heterogeneous and nonspecific. Symptoms can vary from wheezing, stridor, dyspnea, and/or dysphagia to life-threatening conditions; however, they may not be present. The aim of this study is to review the recent literature on this subject and describe new developments in diagnostics and imaging.

“…5 A subclavian artery anomaly also should be considered in children who present with recurrent respiratory infections but do not have other comorbidities or identifi able causes. 7 Cases of pneumonia in children have been documented as caused by aspiration secondary to dysphagia from a retroesophageal right subclavian artery. Increased dyspnea also has been seen in children because of increased tracheal ring fl exibility and compression.…”

“…8 Symptoms commonly seen in children with retroesophageal right subclavian artery include cough, dyspnea, stridor, and thoracic pain. 7,9 DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT Various imaging studies including CT, MRI, upper gastrointestinal barium study, and standard angiography can confi rm diagnosis, let clinicians assess relative anatomy, and help rule out complicating factors. 10 ARSAs usually are found incidentally, most commonly via CT scan.…”

Aberrant right subclavian artery is the most common anomaly of the aortic arch. Patients are often asymptomatic and discovered accidentally. Occasionally, they present with symptoms related to oesophageal or tracheal compression.A 13-year-old girl presented with dysphagia and stridor was found to have an aberrant right subclavian artery. Surgical division and reconstruction of the artery was performed initially through right supraclavicular approach. An additional left thoracotomy was performed to overcome the challenges encountered at initial operation.
