Non un semplice stridor
Abstract
A 4-year-old neonate presented with inspiratory stridor and respiratory distress due to tracheal compression. Echocardiography and CT scans documented a double aortic arch with a dominant right arch and hypoplastic left arch. Cardiac surgical correction was indicated. This case highlights the importance of suspecting vascular anomalies in neonates with persistent respiratory symptoms.
