Abstract

Vascular rings are congenital lesions that cause tracheobronchial and esophageal symptoms as a result of compression of these structures. The majority of cases are recognized in infancy, childhood, and occasionally adolescence. Rarely, vascular rings first present in adulthood. The authors present the case of a vascular ring in an elderly woman who complained of dysphagia.
