Abstract:

We report a patient with congenitally short trachea (CST), defined as a decreased number of tracheal rings and high carina, who had respiratory distress and overaeration of the left lung secondary to extrinsic narrowing of the distal mainstem bronchus by ligamentum arteriosum compression.
