Özet
We report a case of a rare and asymptomatic vascular ring in an adult patient. A vas cular ring presents a complex of anomalous anatomy of aortic arch and related vascular structures which encircle trachea and esophagus as a nng which presents only less than 100 of all congeni tal cardiac abnormalities. Vascular ring may be with or without concomitant congenital cardiac defects. This defect of vascular ring is free of any geographical predominance and the male to fe male ratio is not distinguishing. Most of cases among vascular ring in a percentage of 85 95°o are double aortic arch as in our case. Copyright © 2013 by Türkiye Klinik leri.
