Abstract
The article presents the clinical case of surgical treatment of an extremely rare form of congenital heart disease – retroesophageal circumflex aortic arch. The case is unique and particularly interesting from the point of view of diagnostics and management tactics. In world practice, only isolated cases of observation and treatment of the defect are described, while we have not found similar publications in the domestic scientific literature. The clinical course of this pathology requires close dynamic observation, since it is fraught with serious complications (stenosis of the trachea, bronchi, tracheomalacia, aspiration, etc.), often requiring additional intervention by thoracic surgeons. The pathology is detected in children, as a rule, accidentally, during routine examinations, or manifests itself when compression of the trachea and esophagus occurs.
Timely diagnosis and surgical correction of these defects help to avoid the above-described complications.
