Abstract
Arteria lusoria or retroesophageal right subclavian artery is the most common aortic arch malformation, accounting for 0.5-2.5% of cases. It is mostly aymptomatic, but can also be detected in patients with symptoms such as dyspnea, dysphagia or even recurrent respiratory infections. A combination of an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) and a bicarotid trunk is extremely rare with a prevalence of <0,05% [1]. We present the case of a 3 months old girl who presented with a wheezing dyspnea. She underwent a computed tomography of the chest, and incidental anomalies of the aortic arch branches were found. A symptomatic aberrant right subclavian artery and bicarotid trunk, which was found, are rare and usually incidental findings.
