Abstract:
A 45-day-old infant presented with the unusual and intriguing symptom of episodic crying and loss of consciousness. The infant was discovered to have a vascular compression of the trachea by the innominate artery, almost serendipitously. He was cured of his symptoms by anterior suspension of the innominate artery.
