Clinico-Radiological Correlation in 7 Cases of Airway Compression by Vascular Anomalies on MDCT
نویسندگان
چکیده
Compression of the airway by vascular anomalies is a co-morbidity occurring frequently in children with congenital heart diseases. Here we presented a cohort of 7 patients with respiratory distress who showed airway compression due to vascular anomalies on evaluated with multidetector computed tompgraphy. The anomalies detected were double aortic arch, left sided aortic arch with aberrant right subclavian artery, right sided aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery, left pulmonary artery forming a pulmonary sling and dilated right pulmonary artery compressing the right main bronchus.

Background Corpus callosum is the largest commissure in human brain. It consists of tightly packed white matter tracts connecting the two cerebral hemispheres. In this study we aimed to evaluate role of fiber tractography (FT), and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in ped...
متن کاملStridor in a Newborn with Double Aortic Arch-A Case Report
Introduction: Double aortic arch (DAA) is a congenital anomaly of the aortic arch. It is the most common type of complete vascular ring. When it occurs, the connected segment of the aortic arch and its branches encircle the trachea and esophagus, leading to symptoms related to these two structures. Case Report: We present a case of a newborn baby who developed biphasic stridor immediately after...

Background & Aims: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome (SMAS) is a rare cause of upper intestinal obstruction manifested by retching or vomiting. Thanks to the difficulties arising in its diagnosis, it is usually done by elimination of other causes. We tried to report on the radiological manifestation of this rare syndrome aiming to find reliable predictable signs in imaging. Materials & ...

Vascular compression of the tracheobronchial tree frequently presents early in infancy with significant airway compromise. For this reason, the pediatric otolaryngologist is often consulted early in the assessment of these patients. Three unusual cases of tracheobronchial vascular compression are presented. The diagnosis and management of children with tracheobronchial vascular compression is d...
متن کاملMultidetector-row computed tomography of thoracic aortic anomalies in dogs and cats: Patent ductus arteriosus and vascular rings
BACKGROUND Diagnosis of extracardiac intrathoracic vascular anomalies is of clinical importance, but remains challenging. Traditional imaging modalities, such as radiography, echocardiography, and angiography, are inherently limited by the difficulties of a 2-dimensional approach to a 3-dimensional object. We postulated that accurate characterization of malformations of the aorta would benefit ...
