Article information

Los anillos vasculares pertenecen a un grupo de anomalías congénitas de los arcos aórticos en los que la tráquea y el esófago, o ambos, están completamente rodeados por estructuras vasculares. Con frecuencia pueden causar obstrucción y, en consecuencia, alteración de la deglución y dificultad respiratoria, por lo cual deben incluirse en el diagnóstico diferencial de obstrucción de la vía aérea superior. El diagnóstico temprano y la liberación quirúrgica oportuna de la obstrucción de la vía aérea y del esófago, o ambos, pueden mejorar los síntomas en la mayoría de casos. Esta afección debe sospecharse y evaluarse en lactantes o niños pequeños con síntomas respiratorios recurrentes como tos crónica, estridor y sibilancias o, lo que es menos común, con síntomas relacionados con alteración de la deglución.

A continuación se ilustra el caso de un niño de seis años con problemas de deglución crónicos y desnutrición a quién se le realizó un diagnóstico incidental del arco aórtico derecho circunflejo retroesofágico con ligamento arterioso izquierdo corregido mediante cirugía.

Palabras clave:
anillos vasculares completos
arco aórtico derecho circunflejo
disfagia

Vascular rings are a group of congenital anomalies of the aortic arches in which the trachea and esophagus, or both, are completely surrounded by vascular structures. Often, they can cause obstruction and consequently impaired swallowing and respiratory distress, so they must be included in the differential diagnosis of obstruction of the upper airway. Early diagnosis and timely surgical release of obstruction of the airway and esophagus, or both, may improve symptoms in the majority of cases. This condition must be suspected and evaluated in infants or young children with recurrent respiratory symptoms such as chronic cough, stridor, wheezing or, less commonly, with symptoms related to impaired swallowing.

We illustrate the case of a six-year-old child with chronic swallowing problems and malnutrition who underwent an incidental diagnosis of circumflex retroesophageal right aortic arch with left ligamentum arteriosum corrected by surgery.
