ABSTRACT

Double aortic arch is a rare pathology but it is the most frequent variant of a complete vascular ring. It occurs when the ascending aorta bifurcates into two arches, one posterior right and the other anterior left. Both arches surround the trachea and esophagus and converging into descending aorta. For all the above, respiratory or digestive symptoms could appear. Management is basically surgical. We report the case of a pediatric patient with double aortic arch successfully treated by surgery.
