    A rare vascular anomaly, a right-sided aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery, caused extrinsic trachea compression in a woman diagnosed with asthma. This condition can mimic asthma symptoms, highlighting the need for comprehensive diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Pulmonology
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • A 34-year-old woman presented with symptoms suggestive of asthma, diagnosed in early childhood.
    • Her medical history included a persistent respiratory condition since the age of two.
    • This case explores the diagnostic challenges in differentiating congenital vascular anomalies from common respiratory diseases.

    Observation:

    • The patient exhibited symptoms commonly associated with asthma.
    • Diagnostic evaluation revealed an unusual anatomical variation: a right-sided aortic arch and an aberrant left subclavian artery.
    • This vascular anomaly was identified as the cause of extrinsic trachea compression.

    Findings:

    • The extrinsic trachea compression, resulting from the vascular anomaly, was the underlying cause of the patient's respiratory symptoms.

  • The condition mimicked typical asthma exacerbations, leading to a delayed diagnosis of the vascular etiology.
  • This case underscores the importance of considering rare anatomical variations in patients with refractory or atypical respiratory symptoms.

    • Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of extrinsic trachea compression due to vascular anomalies is crucial for effective treatment and symptom management.
    • Physicians should consider vascular anomalies in the differential diagnosis of persistent or atypical asthma-like symptoms, especially in younger patients.
    • This case highlights the need for advanced imaging techniques to identify rare cardiovascular and thoracic abnormalities that can impact airway function.
