Double aortic arch presenting as neonatal respiratory failure in the delivery room
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 December 2017
Abstract
Respiratory symptoms are prevalent in vascular ring anomalies, including double aortic arch, which is considered the most common type of vascular ring. However, respiratory failure owing to critical airway obstruction in the neonatal period is rare with few reported cases in the literature. We report a case of a newborn patient who required emergent intubation within the first few hours of life and was later discovered to have a double aortic arch.
