چکیده
*Corresponding author. E-mail address: [email protected] (F. Silva). Right aortic arch is a cardiovascular malformation or a variant of normality which can be diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound. This malformation may be associated with DiGeorge syndrome (arising from defects in chromosome 22) and can result in posterior compression of the trachea and esophagus, leading to dysphagia and respiratory impairment after birth. Figure A Right aortic arch passing posterior to the trachea. AO: aorta; PA: pulmonary artery; RV: right ventricle; SVC: superior vena cava; TR: trachea.

A Case of Prenatal Presentation with Double Aortic Arch
Double aortic arch (DAA) is a form of vascular ring found in approximately 1 in 2000–4000 pregnancies on fetal echocardiography. In some cases of DAA, respiratory compromise occurs during infancy due to compression of the trachea, which is completely encircled by the right aortic arch (RAA) and left aortic arch (LAA). RAA and left arterial duct were initially seen on screening fetal echocardiog...
