Abstract:
The MRI features of congenitally short trachea in a patient presenting with respiratory distress are presented. Compression of the left mainstem bronchus by the aortic arch, a recognised complication of this anomaly, could be demonstrated by MRI, obviating the need for other imaging modalities.
