Vascular rings formed by anomalies of major arteries can compress the trachea and oesophagus so much as to cause respiratory distress and dysphagia.

Symptoms can only be relieved by operation. The trac...

In the first hours, days or weeks of life, severe, acute respiratory emergencies occur as the result of congenital deformities. Some are correctable if promptly recognized, others are incompatible with life, while probably the majority are symptomless, a...
