A rare double aortic arch in a child caused cyanosis and heart failure. Echocardiography revealed two vascular arches, with rhythm and flow analysis clarifying the diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Congenital Heart Disease
  • Vascular Anatomy

Background:

  • Cyanosis and heart failure in children can indicate complex congenital heart disease.
  • Vascular anomalies, including aortic arch variations, are critical diagnoses in pediatric cardiovascular medicine.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a case of a pediatric patient presenting with cyanosis and heart failure.
  • To elucidate the diagnostic process for identifying a rare double aortic arch using echocardiography.

Main Methods:

  • Echocardiography was performed to visualize cardiac structures and great vessels.
  • Systematic analysis of vascular arch caliber, rhythm, and flow patterns was conducted.

Main Results:

  • Echocardiography identified two distinct vascular arches of similar caliber.
  • Analysis of flow dynamics confirmed the presence of a double aortic arch, explaining the patient's symptoms.

    • Conclusions:

    • A double aortic arch is a rare congenital anomaly that can present with significant cardiorespiratory symptoms in children.
    • Echocardiography, with detailed assessment of vascular flow, is crucial for diagnosing complex aortic arch abnormalities.
