Asymptomatic double aortic arch

Abstract

A 51-year-old male patient with a past history of lung tuberculosis was referred to our clinic for routine control. The patient reported no complaints and chest X-ray was normal. Three-dimensional thoracic computed tomography revealed a balanced-type double aortic arch with no compression of trachea or esophagus. © 2010 Tanaka et al, publisher and licensee Dove Medical Press Ltd.
