Abstract
Three patients with a left arch and a right descending aorta are described, all presenting in infancy. In 1 patient the abnormality was acquired, yet the radiological appearances were very similar. The place of the Ba swallow in the diagnosis is discussed. Aortography is required for a definitive diagnosis.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
