The Double Aortic Arch: About Two Cases and Literature Review
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
The double aortic arch is a rare embryological anomaly; it constitutes < 1% of all congenital heart defects. It leads to the formation of a complete vascular ring encircling the tracheo-esophageal axis, causing respiratory and digestive symptoms. Clinical presentation is often variable, delaying diagnosis. The treatment is mainly surgical, aimed at lifting compression on the tracheo-oesophageal tract. We report two observations, in order to illustrate the authenticity and the particularity of this anomaly in clinical, therapeutic and prognosis terms.
