Persistent wheezing along with apparent stridor caused by a rare anomaly: double aortic arch. Trop Doct. 2020 Sep 27;:49475520959902 Authors: Gökçe Ş, Abdullayeva N, Koç F, Hüdaver Alper H Abstract Vascular rings are rare anomalies that occur as a result of abnormal development of the aortic arch complex, often manifested by signs of tracheo-oesophageal compression during the infant period. A double aortic arch anomaly is the most common type of vascular ring pathology. Here we report a case presenting with wheezing and stridor in a 10-month-old child.
