Double aortic arch (DAA) is a rare congenital vascular mal-formation that forms a ring around the esophagus and tra-chea, with a prevalence of 0.005% and chromosomal abnormalities associated in only 24% of cases. The most common symptoms are noisy breathing and persistent cough, often misdiagnosed as primary respiratory diseases. We describe a clinical case diagnosed prenatally, analyzed in light of the most recent literature, to identify management and follow-up strategies.

Abstract
Double aortic arch (DAA) is a rare congenital vascular mal-formation that forms a ring around the esophagus and tra-chea, with a prevalence of 0.005% and chromosomal abnormalities associated in only 24% of cases. The most common symptoms are noisy breathing and persistent cough, often misdiagnosed as primary respiratory diseases. We describe a clinical case diagnosed prenatally, analyzed in light of the most recent literature, to identify management and follow-up strategies.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
