Abstract

Tracheal compression by vascular structures in infants is uncommon and may be masked by nonspecific respiratory symptoms. Double aortic arch (DAA) is the most common vascular ring. We describe a case of a 9‑month‑old male infant presented with respiratory distress and found to have a DAA. In this report, the authors emphasize the consideration of this pathology‑induced respiratory distress and discuss its anesthetic management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
