摘要
BackgroundMany causes of vascular rings may present as stridor among children. Co-occurrence of tracheal anomaly in left pulmonary artery sling (LPAS) is very common and needs special attention.Case presentationWe report a case of an infant who presented with expiratory stridor and wheezing. A preliminary chest x-ray revealed no significant findings. CT and virtual bronchoscopy confirmed the diagnosis of LPAS with associated distal tracheal stenosis. He underwent surgical correction with good results in the follow-up period.ConclusionsVirtual bronchoscopy may help to decide the type of operation and to avoid a potentially invasive bronchoscopy in LPAS.
