A 4-year-old male child was admitted with a history of difficulty in swallowing, failure to thrive and recurrent respiratory tract infections. On investigations, cardiac computed tomography was suggestive of a double aortic arch (DAA) and a virtual bronchoscopy was suggestive of tracheomalacia. After ligating the nondominant part of the DAA, the child had symptomatic relief. |
