title: Sling left pulmonary artery with patent type IIA tracheobronchial anomaly and imperforate anus.
abstract: We present a 3-month-old boy with a type IIA sling left pulmonary artery associated with imperforate anus and rectourethral fistula. Tracheobronchial abnormalities are demonstrated using multidetector CT with 3-D volume rendering of the airways. This case represents a novel variant of an already rare entity with an unusually high right upper lobe bronchus and no evidence of associated tracheobronchial stenosis.
