ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Double aortic arch (DAA)
is the most frequently encountered vascular ring malformation characterized by
a complete encirclement of the trachea and esophagus by the aortic arch with a
wide clinical spectrum. Objective: The aim of this study is to describe a case
of DAA in adolesecents. Case Presentation: An 11-year-old boy was admitted for
chronic productive cough which initially was diagnosed with pulmonary arterial
hypertension. The final diagnosis was DAA which was established after chest
computed tomography (CT) scan. Conclusion: Establishing a diagnosis of DAA in
adolescents requires thorough understanding and clinical skills in performing
diagnostic steps. The management of heart failure symptoms and other
comorbidities is essential while preparing for its definite therapy.
