β¦ Synopsis
Congenital vascular ring anomalies frequently present to the pediatric otolaryngologist with symptoms of tracheoesophageal compression. One such case is reported and the literature reviewed. The role of the otolaryngologist in the diagnosis and management of congenital vascular ring anomalies is discussed. HEAD 81 NECK 11:170-173, 1989
T h e pediatric otolaryngologist should play an important role in the diagnosis and management of congenital vascular ring anomalies. Patients with these lesions frequently present with symptoms of tracheoesophageal compression. Endoscopic examination of the aerodigestive tract is often the best way to document the characteristic findings of vascular anomalies and to detect any other anomalies that may complicate the management of these patients. Moreover, the otolaryngologist is sometimes needed to evaluate and manage persistent symptoms in the postoperative period.
An illustrative case is presented that exemplifies the role of the otolaryngologist in the diagnosis and management of an infant with a congenital vascular ring anomaly.
