-
A very rare congenital anomaly of the great arteries characterised by the presence of two aortic arches (right and left) which encircle and compress the trachea and oesophagus, resulting in various respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g. harsh breathing, stridor, dyspnoea, cyanotic and choking episodes, chronic cough, recurrent respiratory tract infections, dysphagia and reflux). Oesophageal atresia and tracheooesophageal fistula have also been reported. It usually occurs isolated, but, on occasion, may be associated with other congenital heart anomalies and chromosomal aberrations.
