Abstract This case report presents a prenatal diagnosis with postnatal confirmation (by angio CT and computer reconstruction) of an isolated double aortic arch, with no blood disturbances and with no clinical symptoms after birth. Literature review was focusing on the possible symptoms in the future. Prenatal findings should be forwarded to neonatologist and pediatrician despite clinical silence.

Abstract Introduction. Double aortic arch (DAA) represents a vascular malformation generated by the persistence of the right dorsal aorta from the intrauterine life. An aortic ring is formed, that surrounds the trachea and esophagus, resulting in difficulty in breathing and swallowing. Case report. We report the case of a 13 years old male child who was admitted to the pediatric surgery department accusing the presence of a paravertebral subcutaneous lesions. Histopathological result of the excised lesion revealed the presence of peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Examination of computer tomography angiography (Angio-CT) revealed the presence of a complete arterial chain (aortic double arch - DAA) around the trachea and esophagus, without signs of compression. Most cases are diagnosed in the first year of life, the literature reports a few cases of DAA diagnosed late, to the adolescent or adult. Clinically most of the anatomical variants are usually symptomatic especially that are associated with congenital heart defects, including also Fallot tetralogy. Conclusions. Angio-CT is a very useful method in diagnosing arterial or venous malformations, symptomatic or asymptomatic.

Double Aortic Arch is a rare congenital cardiovascular anomaly. Its first successful surgery was performed by Robert Gross in 1945 at Children Hospital Boston, USA. It accounts for 0.4 to 1% of all congenital cardiac defects. Patients having a Double Aortic Arch mostly present with symptoms in the 1st week of life but depending upon the severity of symptoms can present at any age in childhood. We present a case report of two month old baby with noisy breathing, intermittent cough, gross jugular notch retraction and sub costal recession. His Cardiac CT was subsequently done which showed a Double Aortic Arch of left dominant variety encircling the trachea. Surgery was done and the encircling artery compressing the trachea was recognized, dissected and interrupted. Marked relief of tracheal and/or esophageal compression was evident from operation day. Post operative recovery was speedy. Patient’s follow up of was done at 1, 4 and 24 weeks. His recovery was unremarkable. Currently he was thriving well.

Abstract Background Small intestine duplication cysts (SIDCs) are rare congenital anatomical abnormalities of the digestive tract and a rare cause of hematochezia. Case presentation We describe an adult female presented with recurrent hematochezia. The routine gastric endoscope and colonic endoscope showed no positive findings. Abdominal CT scan indicated intussusception due to the "doughnut" sign, but the patient had no typical symptoms. Two subsequent capsule endoscopes revealed a protruding lesion with bleeding in the distal ileum. Surgical resection was performed and revealed a case of SIDC measuring 6 * 2 cm located inside the ileum cavity. The patient remained symptom-free throughout a 7-year follow-up period. Conclusion SIDCs located inside the enteric cavity can easily be misdiagnosed as intussusception by routine radiologic examinations.
