[Incomplete aortic ring (arcus aortae circumflexus); compression of oesophagus and trachea (author's transl)].
A baby of 5 months had an incomplete aortic ring (arcus aortae circumflexus) in combination with a ligamentum arteriosum. Even in infancy specific symptoms may occur. Carefull angiographic investigation can avoid misjudging the symptoms (stridor, dysphagia) and can contribute to an exact diagnosis thus preventing unnecessary operation.
